The Kellows
Summary
"Your future headliners of tomorrow" - Jess Iszatt RADIO 1 "That is the way to do it." — John Kennedy, RADIO X Sheffield’s most exciting alt-indie export Following the meteoric rise of their previous release ‘Breathe Me In’—and the industry-shaking buzz of their breakthrough ‘Do You Want Me To?’—the Steel City four-piece are no longer just "ones to watch." Having already secured the backing of tastemakers like Steve Lamacq (BBC Radio 6 Music), John Kennedy (Radio X), and BBC Radio 1, The Kellows are entering 2026 with the momentum of a band destined for the main stage. Recording in Sheffield with legendary producer Alan Smyth (the man behind the desk for the Arctic Monkeys' seminal early tracks). That iconic Sheffield DNA is woven into the fabric of the single, capturing the raw, electric energy that has become the band's hallmark. Led by the formidable 17-year-old lineup of Will Harris (Vocals/Guitar), Evan Applegate (Guitar/Vocals), Charlie May (Bass), and Rueben Huddleston (Drums),
