With the release of their upcoming self-titled EP slated for sometime in the near future, UK indie rock outfit Askies have released ‘Leaving’, the first release from the collection of tracks and an emphatic showcase of what could be yet to come.

The track features more of what we have come to expect from the band but with a more focussed and refined sound, the vocals feel as powerful and distinctive as ever while the riffs and bassline push the track along in engaging, driving fashion, creating this feeling of emotional intensity within their delivery and style. Lyrics about feeling torn about your hometown and different ways that it has impacted your life give ‘Leaving’ a relatable, thoughtful edge, echoing the emotion of its performances, and making for a track that packs as much substance as it does style. The track seems to showcase Askies at their most engaging and memorable, and this new era for the outfit looks likely to be their most fruitful to date.
