Wild Horse Unravels the Intricacies of Love in New Single “Tangled”
Wild Horse, the up-and-coming indie trio, is set to release their third single of the year, “TANGLED,” just in time for their much-anticipated appearance at the Great Escape Festival. The band, known for their infectious energy and unique blend of hip-hop beats and classic British rock influences, has already gained significant attention with their first two singles, “COUGAR” and “ANGLES,” both of which were featured as BBC “Tracks Of The Day.”
Written by all three band members—Jack Baldwin, Henry Baldwin, and Ed Barnes— “TANGLED” showcases Wild Horse’s evolution in sound and style. The song is produced by Matt Leppanen and was recorded at the esteemed Animal Farm Music studio in London. With an irresistible 1980s synth-pop inspired musical backdrop, “TANGLED” delves into the complexities of maintaining a long-distance relationship, an all-too-relatable theme in today’s world.
The band’s recent releases have generated exceptional praise from critics, broadcasters, and radio stations, with widespread press and blog coverage further fueling the momentum. Wild Horse’s music has been regularly played on numerous FM and internet stations worldwide, including mainstream BBC Sussex, Surrey, and Kent shows.
Adding to their growing list of achievements, Wild Horse has been selected as one of the first 50 bands to perform at the 2023 Great Escape Festival in Brighton. The trio has also embarked on their first national UK tour, taking the stage at iconic venues such as The Blues Kitchen in Manchester, The Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, The O2 Academy in Birmingham, Komedia in Brighton, The Old Fire Station in Bournemouth, O2 Academy in Oxford, Thekla in Bristol, and The O2 Academy in Islington, all between March 30th and April 29th.
Hailing from Sussex, Southern England, Wild Horse was formed by brothers Jack and Henry Baldwin, along with their best friend from primary school, Ed Barnes. The band’s members have been passionate about their music since their teens, and despite their young age, have already recorded an impressive number of tracks. This dedication has earned them enthusiastic support from BBC Intros, BBC local shows, RadioX, Caroline, Amazing, and numerous other local FM and internet stations across the globe.
Wild Horse’s signature sound—a fusion of funked-up guitar pop with exuberant hip-hop beats and classic 60s/70s Brit Rock—captures the essence of a night out, ready to take on the world. “TANGLED” promises to be a heartfelt and nostalgic journey into the struggles of long-distance love, set against the vibrant soundscape that has become synonymous with Wild Horse.

Alwyn Morrison explores betrayal, judgment, and survival on new EP “Trial”
Life isn’t always a straight line, and Alwyn Morrison explores that in “Trial,” a four-track EP that goes beyond the familiar territory of love and heartbreak. The project blends pop, rock, and singer-songwriter influences, exploring themes of betrayal, false accusations, emotional pain, self-defense, and survival. Each track is inspired by courtrooms and is a step in a personal journey of understanding, acceptance, and ultimately freedom.
The first track, “Puzzle Piece,” is Morrison’s raw, heavy alternative rock sound, fitting the weight of betrayal and false accusations. The song has a sense of tension, putting you in the shoes of someone trying to understand a difficult situation. Followed by “Everybody Bleeds,” which follows that emotional path, creating a song about confusion, openness, and the struggles we all face, and it’s an emotional listen, with hard truths and personal experiences laid bare.
The project’s focus track, “Monster,” goes into more personal territory. It explores what happens when we are judged or condemned for the choices we make, and it carries a message that goes far beyond Morrison’s own experience. The central theme will strike a chord with anyone who has felt misunderstood, unfairly labeled, or defined by others’ opinions.
The EP closes with “Fireflies,” a track that shifts the mood, contrasting childhood innocence and memories with the realities of adult life. The sequence moves the story toward resilience, survival, and earned acceptance. Alwyn Morrison spins a musical tale of hard life experiences put to the test. The courtroom concept gives the four songs real purpose to move on without letting past experience dictate the future.

Fanny Alexandra explores emotional recovery and self-discovery on “Ceasefire”
Not every fight ends a relationship, and there could be long-term emotional damage, with questions about identity, attachment, and the difficult path to moving on. “Ceasefire” is a ghostly alternative rock ballad in which Fanny Alexandra navigates difficult terrain, exploring emotional dependency and the search for selfhood after a toxic relationship.
“Ceasefire” is full of sad melodies and hints of atmospheric rock, making it a dark, cinematic listen. The song’s alt-rock pivot provides an emotionally charged foundation, and it’s about the internal battle, especially when your identity has been so tied to another person.
Fanny Alexandra’s ethereal vocal approach suits the song, lending real emotional weight to the exploration of self-loss and internal tension. “Ceasefire” is a reflective track, with atmospheric instrumentation and deeply personal songwriting that capture feelings that can linger long after a tough chapter closes.
It’s about finding yourself again, and its emotional arc moves from openness and dependence to the hard-earned discovery that personal freedom is more than just walking away. Fanny Alexandra’s love for dark, emotional alternative music inspired “Ceasefire.” Her art is about intimate storytelling, cinematic atmosphere, and making music that explores the quieter struggles people tend to keep inside. In this record, she turns the fallout from a toxic relationship into a meditative reflection on the long road to selfhood.
