Welsh indie rock band Public Order release new single "STRANGER" - out now on Ignition Records

After recently returning with their comeback single “HELLO” this Spring, their first piece of new material in two years, Welsh band Public Order are back to their vibrant best with their stunning new anthem “STRANGER”. Listen here.

Brimming with more of their broad and emotive electronic tinged indie, “STRANGER” sees them adopt a more atmospheric edge this time around. Oozing with fresh and tantalising textures that heighten their progressive guitar-driven sound, they are certainly reintroducing themselves to the fold in fine form.

Reflecting on the single, the band said “STRANGER” for us is exactly what Public Order is about - it’s guitar music and storytelling, backed by the synths and drums of the dance music we love and grew up on”.

To celebrate the new single release, Public Order have been busy touring across the country with a series of headline and support shows. Having recently played Bodega, Nottingham and sŵn Festival in Cardiff, they will perform at The George Tavern in London on 13th November. This will be their debut London performance – tickets available here followed by Live at Leeds on Saturday 16th November.

In 2022, Welsh indie rock band Public Order released their breakthrough debut single ‘Feels Like Summer’, which saw them being picked from virtual obscurity to be featured on the FIFA 2022 soundtrack, garnering two million streams and counting, and supported by the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders. But just shortly afterwards, they were dropped from their label, forced back into their day jobs, and had to start all over again.

A true underdog story, Public Order persevered writing new music and recently found a new home on London based independent Ignition Records, with a post telling their story on TikTok earlier this year drawing immediate attention and new fans with almost half a million views to date.

Working with Grammy award-winning Jim Abbiss on their upcoming EP to be released early next year, they are looking to make even more noise with recent single “HELLO” having received support from BBC Radio’s Huw Stephens (“sounds massive”) and BBC Introducing (“Moreish … anthemic … ace”).

As close childhood friends, the band spent much of their teenage years exploring a diverse array of musical interests. Citing early material from The Stone Roses and The Prodigy as influences, the group’s direction slowly morphed into a combination of two worlds; the dancefloor-filling rhythms of British dance music, and the bold and blistering sound of live guitars and drums. While their style is rooted in those hedonistic days of all night raves, they have begun to add a new flair and spin to their sound, delivering raw, yet upbeat textures that have grown with recent experimentation and adventure.
