Only The Poets

Since forming only a few years ago, Only The Poets have been painting a story of success as an up and coming band, one definitely worth keeping an eye and ear out for. Not only did their latest single “Waking in the Dark” garner more than 100,000 streams on Spotify in just a week, they landed a support spot to open for Louis Tomlinson (which unfortunately changed due to the pandemic). Nonetheless, they have toured extensively across the UK and Spain. Formed and based in Reading, England, Only The Poets showcases the charisma and dedication of Tommy Longhurst (lead vocals, guitar), Andy (Roo) Burge (bass, vocals), Clem Cherry (guitar, vocals), and Marcus Yates (drums, vocals). They released their first hit, “Ceasefire,” on February 20, 2017, followed by their catchy single, “Emotional,” a few months later on July 1. Since then, they have been gradually putting out new music, one song at a time, which have led up to the much-anticipated debut EP (exclusive pre-order bundles available). In the meantime, they are getting ready to share a new tune, “If You’d Only Try,” which will be out on July 10. They have performed at a handful of venues and festivals within the UK, including Scala in London, Also Known As in Banbury, and the Y Not? Festival in Pikehall.
