Bournemouth Pop-Punk Quintet Weak Asleep set to release their outstanding debut album and 2 focus tracks for radio.

Weak Asleep are a 5-piece band from the sunny shores of Bournemouth, UK drawing on influences across a spectrum of both pop and alternative music scenes.

Their goal for world domination is to have their lyrics and melodies stuck in your head. Are they there yet?

Their debut album, Romance & Ricochets, has been almost a decade in the making. It all began when Chris Parsons (vocals) and Eric Duxbury (lead guitar) crossed paths in their twenties, and what started as a duo grew into a dynamic trio, and eventually, the full five-piece powerhouse they are today. The album dives deep into the highs and lows of friendships, relationships, and everything in between, drawing inspiration from the band's real-life experiences over the past ten years.

The 11-track album features fan-favorite singles like "Abyss," "Get Better (Or Worse)," and "Just Friends," plus a surprise cover of Maisie Peters' "Lost The Breakup." The band sees Peters as the UK's answer to Taylor Swift, and Chris, a longtime fan, was eager to put their unique spin on this unexpected gem.

Romance & Ricochets is a genre-blending adventure, from the heavy-hitting "Typewriters" with its metalcore growls and doom-laden riffs to the softer, more introspective tracks like "Last Note" and "Oh Minnesota," featuring stunning harmonies by producer Lou Sawdy.

Recorded at The Ranch in Southampton—where legends like Creeper, Boston Manor, Rolo Tomassi, and Funeral For A Friend have also laid down tracks—this album is a testament to the band's evolving sound and ambition.

The band has been making waves on the South Coast with their energetic live shows and has recently shared the stage with Anchor Lane, and have graced the stage of the legendary Railway music venue in Winchester.

Past singles have gained the band consistent airplay on a whole host of regional radio including Hot Radio and Voice FM.

‘Romance & Ricochets’ will be available on all platforms 13th September
