WHO ARE THE PUBLICS?
A powerhouse indie rock band from Mansfield, The Publics combine catchy riffs with powerful choruses to create a stadium worthy atmosphere.
In just five months the group (Josh, Elliot, and Ebony) went from playing in a neighbour’s back garden to a high-profile support slot with The Reytons.
‘Young Hearts’ builds on the sound of The Publics’ previous release (Marathon in Heels), combining aspects of 90’s dance and current female Pop vocals with the distinctive indie-rock core.
The single is inspired by a friend of the band appearing on Channel 4’s ‘Teen First Dates’, and recounts the date (which didn’t go very well) with a perspective focusing on both hope and heartbreak.
Destined for a bright 2023, ‘Young Hearts’ aims to propel The Publics into the limelight of the UK Indie Rock scene.
‘Knight in Shining Armour is a top-class indie banger’ – Dean Jackson, BBC Radio Nottingham
‘Mixing Northern gritty indie-pop with a midlands swagger, The Publics are one to watch’ – Rich Goodwin
