OUT TODAY: The Meir’s ‘Free’ Is A Celebration Of Creativity, Freedom And New Beginnings

When Lars Zebregs, Bo Bodewitz and Raf Jansen first met via a mutual friend, they immediately felt a strong musical bond.

This quickly led to weekly jamming sessions on Meirstraat, a cosy residential street in their hometown of Oud Gastel, and during those sessions, the trio let their creative juices just flow naturally, without any pressure to strive for perfection. Amid all the creativity flying around, the guys came up with the name of the band – THE MEIR – paying homage to the street where it all began. But the band name wasn’t the only thing to emerge from those sessions. They also gave birth to something that perfectly captured what those jams were all about: just letting things happen naturally.

And that ‘something’ comes in the form of their brand-new single, ‘Free’, out today across all leading music platforms.

A welcoming, atmospheric opening, reminiscent of Keane’s hit ‘Somewhere Only We Know’, immediately gives a sense of liberation. As it weaves through themes of transition, release and freedom, it reflects the spirit of the band’s own jamming sessions. ‘FREE’ is left wide open to interpretation, giving listeners the space to decide what it personally means to leave something behind and begin a new chapter in life without fear or restriction.

‘Free’ is The Meir’s first offering from their upcoming album, ‘Infinite’. The single not only signifies their progress as budding musicians, but also perfectly wraps up their soothing combination of rock and pop – music that’s comforting to the soul.

‘Free’ is out today (25th September) via all leading platforms.Listen below…

Song of the Day: In The Dead Of Night – Action Forever

The idea for ACTION FOREVER‘s latest single, ‘In The Dead of Night,’ was to bluntly reflect on the obvious downsides of being in a long distance relationship – not being able to hold your partner in your arms, look into their eyes, or hear their voice next to you.

Frontman Sim Bansal confides: “I was in a relationship a bit like that. Later, I realized after I went over some of the lines, like “be a shoulder for the secret pain inside” and “I feel my heart begin to break in two until the moment I hear back from you,” I started to believe that the seed for the song, in part, came from a feeling of co-dependence. When I looked back at what I’d written – in the moment, sort of quickly and instinctively – those lyrics struck me as more troubled than romantic.“

The semi-autobiographical character in the song is very much distressed. He feels the tension between him and his partner and it’s unsettling.

Sim explains: “I wanted to make something upbeat and danceable to accentuate this feeling of stress and urgency. I also tried to pick synthesizer sounds which seemed to have kind of a lonely quality. For example, the counter melodies in the second verse were inspired by those little musical carousel toys that play chimey lullabies.”

Bonetired Shares Brand New Single, ‘Part Time Chase.’

BONETIRED‘s new single, ‘Part-Time Chase’ is a catchy yet sultry pop-ballad, with a lyrical hook, brought together with a feel-good rugged, dirty bass.

Dan Puckey, the lead singer, said: “This track has been in the making for two years from pure blood, sweat and tears from all of us in the band. We wanted this track to highlight how far we’ve come as a band and create a track that people want to listen to on repeat”.

Formed in early 2018, within months Bonetired had filled venues in their hometown in Cornwall and earned a reputation as one of the most exciting acts to emerge from the South-West English music scene. Their debut single ‘Embers’, released in November 2018, was added to Spotify’s Discover Weekly and New Music Release Radar which then went on to reach 50k streams over multiple streaming platforms, and reached over 80 countries.

Bonetired’s diverse dynamic sound along with their high-octane individual performances have helped the band quickly get regularly handpicked by BBC Introducing to play at various festivals. To date, the band has played 100+ gigs, which includes touring over the Netherlands, Belgium and the UK, including headlining Princess Pavilions in Falmouth.

So here’s your chance to hear the rockers-on-the-rise; have a listen to ‘Part Time Chase’ below…
