By Hartlepool quartet PLAZA return with their latest single ‘Speak It’ since they released their debut EP ‘Wernotplaza’.
Having this year played the fabled Reading and Leeds festivals, supported the likes of JAWS, Gengahr, Blaenavon, Ten Tonnes and Dream Wife PLAZA are riding a crest of a wave.
A filtered intro cleanses the sonic palette for searing guitars to begin the track in earnest. Frontman Brad Lennard’s near whispered vocals then punctuate a typically atmospheric verse, before one of the most anthemic choruses and remains destined to echo around your heads long after the three-minute run-time is up.
The tune’s meaning is endearing in its simplicity. Brad Lennard said: “‘Speak It’ is about not being concerned with what other people think about what you say or how you act.
“Always consider the potential consequences of your actions and words because in the end this is what writes your story, but just be nice and don’t let the irrelevant things in your life get you down – concentrate on you.”
Matty Swinbourne (Drums), Matty Nicholson (Guitar) and Will Hamilton (Bass) complete the line-up.
