Hertfordshire’s alternative rock band Maystones has been rapidly making a name for themselves in the UK music scene, drawing attention with their unique blend of punky grit and soaring melodies. With two appearances at the Isle of Wight Festival and a sold-out headline show at The Water Rats already under their belt, they’ve proven themselves as one of the most exciting up-and-coming bands. However, despite their early successes, it’s clear that the best is yet to come.
Their latest release, ‘Meltdown’, marks a new chapter in the band’s evolution. From the first few seconds of the track, it’s clear that something special is happening. The song kicks off with a chunky bass riff that grabs your attention and sets the tone for the emotional rollercoaster that follows. The track builds and evolves throughout, layering intricate instrumentation and palpable emotion in a way that keeps listeners hooked from start to finish. It feels like the beginning of a new era for Maystones, a bold step forward that shows off their growth and creativity.
“We feel ‘Meltdown’ is the start of our new era. It’s the tune we open with at our live shows and it makes a real impact every time. We felt it was only right to drop it as the first single as we roll out our new and improved sound,” the band shared. The track’s raw energy and powerful emotion make it the perfect introduction to what’s to come, both for new listeners and long-time fans alike.
With ‘Meltdown’ already a key part of their live set, it’s clear that this track resonates deeply with audiences. The song’s hard-hitting sound and emotional depth are amplified when experienced live, and the band’s upcoming headline show at Dingwalls 2 in Camden on December 20th offers the perfect opportunity to hear it in person. As Maystones continue to hit their stride, there’s a sense of anticipation around what’s next for the band. Another single, Flight of the Fall, is set to drop in the coming weeks, further affirming that Maystones are just getting started.
With a new sound, a clear vision, and a confidence that permeates every note they play, Maystones are poised for something truly special. Their fresh direction, underscored by the release of ‘Meltdown’, signals that their most exciting era is yet to come, and fans will no doubt be eager to follow along as the band continues to grow.
Hailing from Hertfordshire, Maystones are a dynamic five-piece band making significant strides in the alternative rock scene. Their music seamlessly blends punk grittiness with melodic guitar riffs, crafting a distinctive sound that sets them apart. With a compelling image and an impressive repertoire, their best songs are yet to be unveiled, making them an exciting act to follow.
