Southampton band Regent have released a new single, “Don’t Be Long” ahead of homecoming show at The Joiners on January 25th.
Meanwhile, their new album, “The Cognitive Revolution” is out next year.
“Don’t Be Long” is an emotive tribute to a close friend of frontman Ben Rooke, with lyrics that urge them to search for silver linings during a particularly difficult time in their life.
“The song is about a close friend of mine who’s been struggling with his health and was close to death this year,” he said.
From its impassioned vocals to its soaring solos, “Don’t Be Long” is another confident step forward from the prolific Southampton rock sensations.
Swiftly following on from Summer single release “Stuck Like Glue”, the Southampton Brit-rock revolutionaries are already hatching plans for their third Album, titled ‘The Cognitive Revolution’, which will feature both tracks. The album will be released in 2025.
Having released their second record ‘Beggars Belief’ earlier this year to warm reviews, the South coast outfit will be performing the record in its entirety, plus classics from their growing back catalogue, and potentially a few new surprises too at an upcoming hometown show at Southampton’s Joiners.
Purveyors of an insurgent, no-nonsense brand of rock’n’roll, Regent, have forged a reputation as one of Southampton’s finest and fastest emerging acts.
Tackling widespread issues of political mistrust and economic struggles, to more introspective tracks homing-in on personal hardships to the joy to be found in relationships, Regent’s knack for relatable songs and hook-laden tunes has seen their popularity swell in recent years.
