Will & the People – Past The Point Of No Return

Vinyl LP pressing. 2022 release from the Brighton-based quartet. Recorded at The Libertines' The Albion Rooms over the course of a week, the band say of the album: 'It represents a journey of the soul; from the darkness and depression of a lost and seemingly hopeless position - to a realisation and acknowledgment of needing to change, needing to empower oneself and then finally to a more joyous, un-shakeable happiness towards all aspects of life. Life is beautiful and can be lived with joy and grace. Through staying true to your passions and beliefs and finding, new chapters, happiness is there. The album, Past the point of no return, is the meeting of the past and present on our journey into the future. It's a four-way diary entry for life as we currently know it.' You can tell from the way they play, talk and live that Will and The People aren't following a formula or trying to follow the pack. They play music because it makes them feel good, feel free and feel whole. Their music is nostalgic, colourful, both melodically and lyrically, and it packs a punch; heavy guitars, catchy synth lines and punchy drums frame these wonderful compositions. Live and in the flesh, they are a force to be reckoned with, and is where they truly shine.
