Is a teenage dream worth all this loss?

This is the question alt-rock duo THEIA are asking in their upcoming track ‘I’m Plastic’, which is due to be released on 2nd June 2023. Following hot on the heels of their previous release ‘Everything’, ‘I’m Plastic’ made its radio debut courtesy of BBC Introducing in the East Midlands on Saturday 20th May and garnered an amazing response from listeners! With this release, THEIA continue to push against the boundaries set by genres; Frontman Kyle Lamley supplies chunky riffs and a catchy chorus while younger brother Ash provides powerful beats that keep you hooked, add in some electronic wizardry and THEIA hit you with a crunching track that is modern and relevant to the world in which we live. Keeping true to themselves, the lyrics are honest and heartfelt.

Talking about the track, Kyle says: “This one is for the fans. OUR fans. The incredible people who have trailed around the UK in all weathers to come and support us, time in and time out. We wanted to let them know how much we thrive on it, how important they have been to us over the years - but with the same cutting honesty people expect from THEIA. They know who we are, they know what we do; now we want to sing this song with them at a show."

This is THEIA, expect the unexpected.

After announcing their reinvention last year with their EP ‘The Day’, dynamic duo Kyle and Ash Lamley have continued to wow audiences the length and breadth of the country with their brand of modern alternative rock and energetic live performances, winning the hearts and minds of rock stalwarts and reaching new audiences along the way.

Bio:

Describing themselves as ‘the bastard sons of Royal Blood and Twenty One Pilots’, THEIA blend the viscous sound of Biffy Clyro with a stark lyrical honesty that reflects their cynically optimistic outlook.

THEIA underwent a metamorphosis in 2021, using both band and societal changes as a catalyst to re-imagine the way they would look and sound as a band. The new musical style reflects the maturity of the duo and provides the listener with a modern alternative to traditional rock music without alienating lovers of classic rock. It’s unapologetic, forward-thinking, anxiety trapped in the strings of a guitar and serotonin released through the desperate grip of a pair of drumsticks. Accompanying the new sound is the full throttle, energetic live performances that fans have always associated with THEIA and flamboyant frontman Kyle Lamley.

Hailing from Burton-upon-Trent in the UK, THEIA came to life when frontman and guitarist Kyle Lamley; who has been raised on his father’s collection of Marc Bolan, Alice Cooper, and AC/DC records, teamed up with lifelong friend Paul Edwards (bass/vocals) to form the spine of the band. Ash Lamley joined the fray in 2019 and Paul said his goodbye to THEIA in 2021. During the early phase of their evolution, THEIA released two well received EPs followed by their debut album in 2015 before releasing Back In Line in 2017 and The Ghost Light in 2019. ‘The Day’, the first EP from the duo was released in May 2022. Along their journey, they played Hard Rock Hell X, Rockwich Festival, Loverocks Festival, and Planet Rock’s Winters End Festival, supported a number of high-profile bands, including most recently legends Magnum, and toured their own headline shows. Accolades during this time included Planet Rock ‘Ones to Watch’ and Great Music Stories ‘Single of the Year’ for the track Home. THEIA released ‘Everything’ in April 2023 and ‘I’m Plastic’ is slated for release on 2nd June 2023; both tracks are taken from the upcoming EP ‘The Wet Die Young’ which is expected later in 2023.

Frontman Kyle is the creative soul of the band and is responsible for guitar stunts, vocal acrobatics, and lyrical ponderings, but not necessarily in that order. He first picked up the guitar when he was about 12 years of age after finding his Dad’s dusty Ibanez electric stashed under a bed. After years spent in retirement, the guitar called to him and he couldn’t resist. Constantly striving and evolving, using the experience of playing in front of thousands of music lovers over the years, Kyle has honed his craft. “Now that the roots have truly taken hold, THEIA is a project that’s finally ready to show off the fruits of my labours”, he says proudly. Younger brother Ash Lamley started his THEIA journey as their roadie at the tender age of eleven. He turned down a position in the band three years ago, but decided to spend a small fortune on a drama degree; this wasn’t much help when he needed to reacquaint himself with the drums after 5 years away from the stool and learn a whole set list in 3 months before his debut gig in 2019. He has now found his feet and is back in the groove, “I can remember 60% of the songs 40% of the time”, he says
