downcast are back! Bristol’s finest emo/alt-rock quartet have been hard at work in the studio crafting the follow up to their critically acclaimed debut album “i saw hell when i was with you”, and after months of hard work honing their craft, Liam, Ben, Jeff and Sam can reveal details of their first new music since their debut release.
downcast’s new single is called “bittersweet”, and it’s set for release on the 18th of April. Simultaneously a tribute to an old friend, themed around their hometown of Bristol mixed around a theme of nostalgia, “bittersweet” has the hooks, the melodies and the story to make it one of the hits of the Spring. To hear more about “bittersweet”, we hand over to downcast frontman Liam Edwards:
“bittersweet’ was written to commemorate a close friend who we lost just under two years ago. It describes the conflicting feelings of fondness and grief that come with revisiting a place associated with someone who is no longer with us. The accompanying music video will make all ’90s kids feel nostalgic.
It feels great to be back, more confident than ever and ready to burst back onto the scene with our best material to date.”
You can pre-save “bittersweet” on your streaming platform of choice now.
The first chance to hear “bittersweet” live will be for their hometown fans when they Bronnie in Bristol at Rough Trade on the 11th of April. The next opportunity will be for the good people in Kent, when downcast The Young Hearts in Hastings at The Piper on the 11th of May. More live shows, including headline shows, will be announced soon.
