Formed of Mark on Vocals/Guitar, Dan on Guitar, Matt on Bass and Jamie on Drums Bournemouth rock group TOWERS have unveiled their second big single ‘Could Have’ from forthcoming Debut, self-titled EP. Describing it as being about…
“that feeling that comes over you when you don’t feel you’re getting anywhere in your life”.
Check out the video to ‘Could Have’ below:
The track was the first ever written by the band members and ultimately what drove them to pursuing the project. Vocalist/guitarist Mark openly reveals, “I went through a lot of those thoughts when I stopped writing music. You start to think of all the opportunities that you have been given, and what your life would have been if you went down a different path, so it’s ironic how it was the catalyst of how Towers even started”.
The creation of Towers is something which Mark openly speaks about how music had been a form of therapy for his mental wellbeing: “I went through a tough time last year with personal and mental issues. Music was the only thing that kept me going through it. I started writing these songs during that time, and once I recorded them I had made a lot of progress with myself. It was basically therapy for me! In fact it was strong passion and motivation for music that the boys all shared which lead to creation of Towers.”
“We do it for the love for music, we love playing music, writing music, and we are all best friends. If we don’t write music we go crazy. Trust me.”
The EP is set to be released on 30th September which is available to preorder .The record was laid down with Jonny Renshaw at Bandit Studios (Devil Sold His Soul, Blood Youth). With anthem tracks, brimming with emotion, infectious harmonies and an overriding sense of positivity, there is easily drawing comparisons to the likes of Deaf Havana, 30 Seconds To Mars and Biffy Clyro, the band cite influences ranging from Jimmy Eat World to Sigur Ros.
“We wanted a massive sound, and we knew that he would take what we had and bring it up to a level that we wanted. It was the most relaxed recording process we have ever had. Jonny is so passionate about music and we worked really well with him,”
