British Indie Alt Rock Act WESSON Unveils new Acoustic-Centric EP “Stay the Same”
While we have made it clear that we are suckers for the singer-songwriter motif for an artist, we have a soft spot for a full band when they dabble with an unplugged or acoustic production. On our latest peek into the alternative world we are checking out Stay the Same, the latest drop from WESSON. WESSON is a British alternative rock band led by singer and songwriter Chris Wesson, based in Milton Keynes. Comprising Chris, along with bassist Callum, guitarist Jimmy, and drummer Dale, the band’s formation was rooted in a shared passion for creating music that’s deeply relatable and meaningful. Their diverse musical backgrounds have resulted in a unique blend of pop, punk rock, and indie influences, creating a sound that’s entirely their own. They’ve gained recognition by supporting established artists and receiving positive reviews from respected music publications. Their latest release, “All We Are,” brings 2023 to a powerful close, and WESSON’s ability to connect with listeners on a personal level through their music sets them on an exciting trajectory in the music industry. With a growing fanbase and a distinctive sound, WESSON’s journey promises to be a captivating and promising one, with fans eagerly anticipating what they have in store for the future.
“This is the type of person who just complains and then looks externally for something or someone to lift their mood, rather than working on themselves and making positive changes. They are ungrateful, unable to see the good in life and they pray for change but things either get worse or just stay the same.” – WESSON
WESSON kicks off 2024 on a high note with the release of their four-track acoustic EP, Stay the Same. Featuring three tracks from their previous album and a captivating new single, the titular track “Stay the Same,” the band explores themes of pessimism and introspection while drawing inspiration from 60s bands like The Kinks. The EP’s laid-back vibe and infectious melodies have garnered widespread praise on social media, with fans likening WESSON to the modern-day Beatles. Accompanied by mesmerizing live performance videos filmed in Chris’s self-built studio, “Stay the Same” showcases WESSON’s versatility and unwavering dedication to their craft, solidifying their status as a rising force in the music industry.
