Fast-rising alt-rock juggernaut lostboy has returned with a brand new single, The Wake Up – listen here.

Another sonic sucker punch of arena-ready alt-rock, the politically-charged number is visceral track that highlights the current issues faced by our society in 2022 set to a soundtrack of ear worm melodies and anthemic crescendos – and once again harnessing an acute colloquialism in its lyrics much akin to Catfish and the Bottlemen and Courteeners. 

Speaking about the track in more detail lostboy explains: “I saw The Wake Up as my opportunity to address the struggles the working class are faced with on a daily basis. With the cost of living soaring and wages under paying, it’s hard watching those closest to me have to endure such difficult times – with nothing but a hard winter to look towards. It felt right to play my part in shedding light on the issues at hand, get us talking more and get us together. It’s time for those making the decisions to ‘wake up’ to what is a reality for so many. The more we talk the harder we can push for positive changes.”
