London’s most thrilling new rock and roll outfit, Scarlet Sometimes, return with their latest single, ‘Waiting On You’; a blistering slice of guitar-driven headiness that cements their status as one of the capital’s most vital new acts.
From its first jagged chord, ‘Waiting On You’ roars to life – a fuzz-drenched anthem built on urgent riffs, propulsive bass, and a warmly nostalgic vocal that walks the line between sneer and sincerity. The track barrels forward with restless energy, teetering between tension and release, until the chorus crashes in like a neon-lit rush, bruising and beautiful all at once. Scarlet Sometimes show they can make songs that stick under your skin – messy, magnetic and unashamedly addictive.
‘Waiting On You’ captures the band’s distinctive chemistry – British Invasion meets New York garage, filtered through the electric pulse of modern London. It’s hook-laden, cinematic and unapologetically loud; a track that feels equally at home in a sweaty basement gig or blaring through festival speakers.
Formed from members hailing from England, Scotland, Wales and Hong Kong, Scarlet Sometimes are united by their appetite for fast-living and adrenaline-shot songwriting. Their sound is steeped in the DNA of classic rock & roll but propelled by the urgency of now – sharp, melodic and defiantly alive.
With ‘Waiting On You’, Scarlet Sometimes are not just introducing a song – they’re declaring intent. This is music that believes in the power of noise, melody and movement.
