Don't Let This Bank Holiday Be 'Just Another Monday' – Get Lively with Rapturous' Brand-New Single!
"Hip-Hop, Rock, heavy bass, with front man Ashton Lilburn relaying quick, imaginative, poetic raps, bouncing off front man Luke Barratt's dry lucid vocals" - NME
“Really want to hear the songs live, I’m thinking mosh pits galore”. - BBC introducing
Rapturous are the Kent based five piece genre defining, alternative Rock/Hip-Hop outfit who are quickly set to become your new favourite band.
Made up of lead singers Luke Barratt and Ashton Lilburn (who also plays Guitar), Luke Davidson on Lead Guitar, Nathan Cooke on Bass Guitar and Adam McVey on Drums.
The band have been bringing their high octane sell out live performances to major cities across the country leaving a trail of excitement in their wake as they set pulses and eardrums alight with their unique brand of showmanship and explosive soundscapes.
Rapturous released their debut single ‘Lion’s Den’ in 2021, followed by ‘In Vain’ in 2022 and their debut EP ‘Future Of Nothing’ in the same year. After spending 2023 on the live gigging circuit and in the studio perfecting their sound, the five piece released their first offering of 2024, the fan favourite, highly charged, explosive anthem of ‘Repeat After Me’ which received plays and praise from the likes of the legendary Rodney Bingenheimer on Sirus XM in America.
The band are now back with their brand new single ‘Just Another Monday’ - a track that explores the feeling of the mundane, Monday to Friday 9 - 5 working life and a need to escape.
The track starts off with a certain drudgery, and a feeling of plodding along on the treadmill with its social commentary in the lyricism, this is quickly replaced in the break with an absolute cacophony of sound, with crashing drums and snarling, fuzzing guitars succinctly epitomising the band’s high energy character for which they are known and loved. The now infamous rap in the mid section, really sets this band apart from their peers showcasing what a rare and unique talent they are.
There really isn’t another band like this on the scene right now, a rare gem indeed in these days of indie/britpop revival and punk bands galore and I for one am totally invested and here for it!
The band have said of the new track:
“Just Another Monday. Man, it gets boring. Just a song about that feeling of “here we go again”, the feeling you get on Sunday night when the dread of waking up tomorrow morning on Monday kicks in, working in a job you hate for a boss you despise and praying that the weekend comes around quickly. It’s something everyone and anyone can relate to!”
With an arsenal of new music already stacked in their locker, the band now have their sights set on further developing their unique sound, and taking their music to new audiences and new heights across the globe.
‘Just Another Monday’ was recorded, produced/mixed by Dan Lucas of Joplin House in Ashford, Kent and was mastered by Charlie Francis of Synergy Mastering.
