Louis Glasby Releases Latest Single, “New Signing”

Louis Glasby is a Birmingham-based alt-rock artist who embraces sonic imperfection. Akin to the slacker rock which permeated the ’90s or the punk rock of the late ’70s. Favouring raw, unadulterated energy and passion over technical proficiency or squeaky clean production. Allowing the songs to speak for themselves, utilizing earworm melodies which linger in the brain long after listening. Often prompting a second, third, or fourth listen.

Now, following his debut single, “Lower Your Expectations,” Glasby releases his second single of the year, “New Signing.” It’s a fast-paced, pop-punk adjacent tune whose instrumentation, structure and lyricism evoke the thoughts and emotions of a young buck who has recently been signed to a label with promise of success and adoration, only to be dropped a mere few weeks later. Leaving them feeling blindsided and embarrassed in the face of those whom they had gloated to on their way up.

Inspired by the likes of Blink-182, Green Day and Sum 41, “New Signing” serves as a calling card to all independent artists who’ve ever been taken advantage of by higher-ups in the music industry. Likening the experience of being signed to a major label to an ‘unorthodox holiday.’ As well as being irresistibly catchy, with an unforgettable chorus and middle eight.
