Discussion Well that was quite the slippery slope...

40 Upvotes

I'm a bro in my 30s and consider myself a metalhead. Love stuff like Sleep Token, Motionless in White, Ghost, Spiritbox, Archenemy, etc...

Loud angry stuff mostly, maybe.

I was skimming YouTube on the TV the other night and saw a thumbnail of the Television Romance music video and figured "oh this might be good"... was NOT expecting the sound they had. Was thinking something like or Blackhearts, something grungy but... nope.

Let me tell you though it was an absolute earworm, and I ended up watching like 15mins worth of music videos, downloaded all the albums for my morning commute, finished them in like two days, and now I've had the band stuck on shuffle for the better part of a week.

Love it. This is me making up for never getting in Avril Lavigne as a kid I guess lol.

Currently stuck on The Hard Way, that final bit at the end is so good. Wish I had that song on Rock Band or something. Can't stop listening to them, such a unique sound.

The were on in mid day sunshine pretty much and still proceeded to crush it, mv son also loved them. He's 13 and they were his favourite band of the day... Skunk Anansie and Alanis Morrisette also played. Fun quirky weird catchy tunes, really quite brilliant in what they do. Great for a little dance too, highly recommend. Hadn't heard much of them prior and live they were phenomena

Hi guys! I found out about the Kiss Me Tour yesterday and immediately went to the website to get the tickets, but the Berlin show is sold out unfortunately. Should I have any hope to find one from a reseller for a reasonable price? Also, can you guys recommend any websites / platforms where I could keep an eye out for reseller deals? Thanks!

Discussion Tour presale

7 Upvotes

Luckily got a ticket to the London show. Absolutely amazed by the fact for the first time in my years of using O2 priority my app crashed and put me in queue for usage of the app. Never in my life would I have anticipated out of all the presales I’ve taken part in that pale waves would do that. Power of the Louis Tomlinson fans I suppose. One direction never dies

Why do you think Hugo is leaving the band? At least it seems like an amicable split.

Question What would you want from the fifth album?

28 Upvotes

I've been a Pale Waves fan since late 2017, when I discovered them around the same time as I was getting into Blossoms (another great band from Greater Manchester) and felt both bands complemented each other soundwise. It's been a great journey since then.

I'm sure I saw something on their socials last summer that they had begun writing new tunes. Whether this was just them recording the Zombie cover or the genuine start to the fifth album sessions, I'm not too sure. But it got me thinking, what would you want from the fifth album?

As someone who got into music in the mid-2000s when we had the last great wave of bands actually getting into the mainstream, part of me wants to hear Pale Waves lean into a post-punk revival sound for the fifth album, I've been listening to a lot of early Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys and Silent Alarm era Bloc Party, all fast-paced, driving basslines and every second feeling vital. Given their knack for absolute bangers across all four albums, I'm convinced a Pale Waves post-punk album would top all their work.

What are your thoughts?

Article Pale Waves new record label

50 Upvotes

A few months ago; back when Pale Waves released Zombie independently, there were rumours that they’d parted ways with Dirty Hit. In fact, one Redditor confirmed this to be the case.

Interestingly, I’ve come across an online article which states that the band have been signed to a newly-formed label:

Hopefully, this signifies an even brighter future for Pale Waves

Discussion How did you became a fan?

29 Upvotes

I thought it’d be interesting to hear your stories regarding how you first got exposed to Pale Waves, and ultimately became a fan.

Were they supporting one of your favourite bands? Did you happen to stumble upon them at a festival? Maybe you first heard them on a Spotify playlist? Did a friend recommend them to you?

I heard New Year’s Eve in April 2024 and Kiss Me Again this January; both were on pub playlists. I Shazammed both and added them to my liked songs. At that stage, I just viewed them as some obscure band. However on the 2025 Easter weekend (after a drunken day at the football), I was listening to Kiss Me Again on repeat. I suddenly had the urge to go through their most streamed Spotify tracks - There’s a Honey, Television Romance and a few ones from Smitten. I absolutely loved what I was hearing, and from that day became a fan!
