Only The Poets Anthemic New Single Will Definitely Make You “Jump”

Reading quartet Only The Poets have shared their anthemic new single “Jump”.

Speaking about the single, the band said:

“‘Jump!’ is about all the times when you need to follow your heart and not your head. Too often in life, we don’t take the leap, always wondering about potential problems and overthinking. It’s a song all about being completely unapologetic about jumping into something new and exciting, whatever that might be.”

The single comes with the Reading four-piece establishing themselves as one of the UK’s biggest emerging live acts in just a few short years. Unsigned until recently, the band’s DIY ethos saw them build things from the ground up, playing student house parties, pub circuits and small venues to selling out 1,600-capacity venues in the UK and across Europe.

“We did it the old school way,” Lockhurst says. “We all come from hard-working backgrounds, and we understand you have to put the work in. So building a fanbase through live shows just made sense. We’d drive up to Stockton-on-Tees and play in front of two people or get booked for tiny festivals, whenever we could play we would. Even though initially the rooms were small, for us to be playing music together was just an amazing feeling. And then when you start to see it building it all becomes a hundred times more intense.”

Following sold-out tours across the UK and Europe last year – and a massive run on the continent in support of Lewis Capaldi earlier in 2023 – Only The Poets have announced a European tour for this spring, with reduced ticket prices for fans who financially struggle to attend. The tour culminates in London on 3rd May for their headline show at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire.
