an urgent burst of youthful fire driven by heart, hunger, and wide eyed grit

manchester rising stars the radio addicts return with before my eyes, a punchy slice of indie rock and roll that captures the recklessness and rush of being young, loud, and absolutely unwilling to be ignored. lifted from their debut vinyl ep mmxxv, the single explodes with jangling guitars, sharp edged hooks, and a restless pulse that feels built for sticky floors, packed rooms, and voices screaming the chorus back at the stage.

formed in 2024 and already selling out headline shows months ahead of time, the radio addicts have a rare instinct for turning raw energy into something bright and cinematic. luke cardwell’s vocals cut through with earnest charm, daniel wayland’s guitar lines spark and sprint, while vincent sanderson and jonathan wayland lock the rhythm section into a tight, driving engine that keeps the whole track burning forward with intent.

there’s a sense of grit in every lyric, a flash of real teenage urgency, and a belief that rock and roll still means something. bold, tuneful, and packed with life, before my eyes stands as proof that the next wave of mancunian guitar bands is arriving fast, loud, and ready to take over.

thank u for making this the radio addicts 🎸
