Feast your eyes on Midlands outfit Paradise Circus who emerge as a breath of fresh air to the indie rock circuit.
Releasing their third single ‘What a Way (Cheetah)’, the Birmingham quartet mix a riotous backdrop of atmospherics over energised guitars and bold vocals.
Consisting of David Purchase on vocals, Callum Cartwright on lead guitar, Sam Allen on bass and Nathan Shingler on drums, the group first met as teenagers in the city.
The lads have quickly gained the outfit over 13,000 streams, with their debut single ‘Fight It’ which recently hit 10,000 streams alone. It’s a sound made for the stage- with the group recently selling out The Dark Horse (Birmingham) twice in just under three days.
‘What A Way (Cheetah)’ took two years to craft, with the band collaborating with industry greats including Justin Lyndley, engineer for Elvis Costello, and Matthew Cotterill to perfect the anthem.
The result is an offering that feels completely fresh, mixing acoustic elements with thrashing drumbeats and unstoppable, dynamic vocals.
“The song is about the ‘cheater’ in a relationship,” tells vocalist David. “It was first written in my basement at 11:30pm, when I detuned my Dad’s guitar trying to find a cool chord.
“The chorus was written in about seven minutes and Cal’s guitar was also done in quick time. Written in 15 mins but took two years to complete.”
With unstoppable ambition and guitars in tow, this release marks a new era for the band, who are ready to take the world by storm.
Get ready to hear Paradise Circus as the new faces of UK indie-rock and get swept away by its magnetism.
