It’s been several years since we last shared new music from Stoke-on-Trent-based indie outfit Camens, so their new single Anything To Win is very welcome indeed!

By Jane Howkins

Anything To Win is incredibly catchy from the start, acting as a sharp, swaggering statement of intent for the future. Serving as the lead track for their sophomore album Los Karma, the song leans into a bigger, more cinematic alternative-pop sound that also manages to draw subtle aesthetic cues from desert rock and Josh Homme-era arrangements. Frontman Scott Powell’s vocals are as expressive as ever, exuding a defiant, no-permission-asked confidence that turns industry setbacks and financial hurdles into fuel rather than frustration, making for an infectious, high-energy return that proves the band are ready to carve out a bolder, more adventurous path forward.
