The single drops on Friday, january 17th

Armagh-born, Belfast-based indie-rock trio Brother Vice annouce new single "Somebody to Love", out on January 17th 2025

Today FM and Q Radio recommended band Brother Vice are set to launch 2025 with new single, "Somebody to Love" (PR by Cobra Promotions). Working with the band last year to promote highly acclaimed single, "MONEY", which earned airplay on Today FM, Blast106, Cool FM, Ros FM, Dublin City FM, 98FM and Dundalk FM, we are delighted to see the band straight back to action and in top form in the new single.

The single was recorded, mixed and mastered in Manor Park Studios with long-time collaborator Neal Calderwood (formerly of Sheer), who has worked with fellow Northern Irish bands General Fiasco, Dea Matrona and Red Eye Pariah. On how it feels to be releasing the single so early in the year, guitarist Neil Mone explains,

"We're really excited to release this new single to start 2025 off with a bang. We feel it's one of our stronger singles over the last few years and can't wait for people to hear it. It will be the first of many new things to come from us throughout the year".

Lyrically focused on the complexities of toxic relationships, the band showcase their ability to intimately tap into universal experiences and connect one-to-one with their growing fanbase. The lead guitarist continues:

"I feel the listener can draw a relation to the song from their own individual experiences. The lyrics touch on looking fondly at past relationships which may have been toxic and bad for you, but at some point we're all guilty of been drawn to what's bad for us, or looking at it through rose tinted glasses".

The creative process of the track saw the band's organic ideas come to life in the practice room, before being shaped by some spontaneous decision-making moments in the studio. This signature formula has driven their ethos since formation, and will continue in full force across 2025. Landing on January 17th, the single is sure to bring some warm indie-rock into your life admist this cold snap.
