Liverpool band The Memos returns with new melancholic single ‘She’s …’
Liverpool band The Memos is making waves with their latest release, “She’s On Her Own”, from the upcoming EP “Futures Ours to Find.” Known for their energetic performances, heartfelt lyrics, and sharp songwriting, the band combines 90s Britpop influences with a modern indie-rock edge. The track starts off with a stripped-down sound that gradually builds up to a powerful chorus and culminates in a soaring guitar solo and a dynamic full-band ending.
Frontman Aaron Spencer’s vocals are a standout feature of the song, blending authority with vulnerability to add emotional depth to the band’s anthemic style. Reflecting on the inspiration behind the track, Spencer reveals that it was inspired by his experience growing up with a single parent. The song captures the complexity of emotions that come with understanding the struggles behind the façade of a smiling parent. Although initially hesitant to release the song, Spencer’s bandmates loved it, leading to its inclusion in their repertoire. In the studio, the band pushed themselves to enhance the emotional narrative of the song, resulting in a piece they are immensely proud of as it stands out from other artists and influences.
Spencer’s songwriting journey has seen collaborations with renowned artists like Kyle Falconer (The View) and Justin Hawkins (The Darkness). The upcoming EP, recorded and produced by Ben Harper at The Motor Museum, signifies a confident new phase in the band’s career. Drawing comparisons to acts like Sam Fender and Catfish and the Bottlemen, The Memos are quickly gaining recognition as one of Liverpool’s most promising bands. Their live performances have earned them a reputation beyond Merseyside, including a notable show for an audience of 10,000 at The Halliwell Jones Stadium.
With “She’s On Her Own,” The Memos continue to evolve and grow, showcasing a blend of authenticity and ambition that sets them apart in the music scene. Their commitment to crafting compelling and emotion-driven music is evident in each note, making them a band to watch as they progress on their journey to musical success.
