White Label Release ‘Honestly’ In The Lead Up To Their Debut EP
Combining the rhythmic edge of hip hop with the melodic textures of indie rock, White Label are a four piece band from the South East of the UK. Known for their electrifying live performance and refreshing approach to alternative music, White Label are a ‘must see’ out of the UK’s up and coming new artists.
After moving to Brighton in late 2023, vocalist Toby Taylor and guitarist Joe Alexander quickly decided to reimagine their vision for the music they wanted to make. After spending time crafting their own sound from notable influences of hip hop, RnB, Britpop, indie and funk, Taylor and Alexander soon recruited like-minded drummer Max Lascelles and bassist Tom Woods, and White Label was born.
Their latest single, ‘Honestly’, continues to capture the band’s approach to blending the elements of these various genres, this time focusing on the more upbeat side of their sound. On the face of it, the track exerts a summertime sundown party feel, however at a closer look this is cleverly contrasted by the present theme of falsehood within love.
When exploring the subject matter of the track, Taylor had this to say; “Honestly is about white lies. It deals with ideas of miscommunication, dishonesty and how that can affect relationships. The song takes place in the setting of an explosive interaction between two people who aren’t yet ready to be completely honest with each other or themselves.”
‘Honestly’ is the third of the four singles in the lead up to White Label’s debut EP, which promises to not just be an introduction to the band and their musical capability, but a deep dive into what White Label is and aims to achieve. Keep up to date on upcoming live dates and other news on the band’s Instagram and other socials.
