The track comes with a memorable Ace Bowerman directed music video
Their fiery and energetic brand of indie rock and unmistakable, unique charisma and charm have made Lincoln noisemakers The Rills into one of the UK scene’s breakout successes in recent years, with the band’s relentless ambition and dynamic flair setting them up for loftier and loftier heights.
The latest single ‘I Don’t Wanna Be’ is their first release of 2024, and brings a punky intensity and attitude to their sound, brash and bold in its choppy sound and unapologetically brazen lyrics. The track somewhat summarises the mantra of the band, to break out of the small town cycles and small ways of thinking of so many people around them and to dream bigger and be more adventurous, ‘I Don’t Wanna Be’ is a source of self-affirmation, a declaration that they can do great things and be whatever they want, and it is this sense of swagger and dynamism that has served them so well time and time again. The track encapsulates everything that The Rills represent in 2024, refusing to be pigeon-holed or tied down, and willing to kick down doors to achieve what they want to.
