The first time we’ve ever featured on another artist’s album 🖤

This is a first for us…
For the first time ever, we’ve featured on an album that isn’t our own... and honestly, we loved recording this song so much. It was a project that just felt right to be part of.
The track we recorded is called Soulbreaker, it's for a tribute album to Matt Long, former frontman and guitarist of the multi award-winning UK blues rock band Catfish.
Matt was a huge talent and a beautiful soul, and this project has brought together a group of his friends from across the blues and rock world to celebrate his songwriting and his life.
Matt sadly passed away in October 2024 at the age of 29, following a battle with cancer.

Apart from the title track, every song on the album was written by Matt, and each artist has reinterpreted one of his songs in their own way. It’s been really moving to hear how everyone’s put their own stamp on his music while keeping the heart of his writing alive.
The lineup on this album is pretty incredible and includes:
Elles Bailey, Paul Jones, The Cinelli Brothers, Blue Nation, Sean Webster, Brave Rival, Will Wilde, Zac Schulze, Alice Armstrong, Dom Martin, Chantel McGregor, Katie Bradley, Adrienne Cowan… and us.
There are also guitar solos from Joe Bonamassa and Walter Trout (using Matt’s original vocals).
The release is a 16-track double vinyl with coloured discs and a lyric booklet, and it’s also available as a double CD or download.
If you’d like to hear our song on the album, we’ve got a music video out now! ⬇️

Most importantly, all proceeds from the album will go to the cancer ward at Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford, where Matt received treatment.
So by picking this up, you’re not just supporting the music, you’re supporting something genuinely meaningful.

This is a presale, with the album released on 20th March 2026, and vinyl shipping shortly before the launch date.

It feels really special to be part of something outside of our own world for once, and we’re proud that our song sits alongside so many artists we respect for such a good cause.

If you fancy checking it out and supporting the project, it truly means a lot.

Much Love
Grace & Aaron

Tickets are flying for this tour... 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks so much for the love you’ve shown the Rhythm Rust & Static Tour 🔥 If you’ve already grabbed your tickets, that’s amazing and we can’t wait to see you out there.
Just a little heads-up… we’re playing smaller, more intimate venues on this run, and tickets are selling really fast, so if you’ve been meaning to check the dates and sort your tickets, now’s a good moment.
This tour is for our brand new album Rhythm Rust & Static, which is due out in the spring, and it’s going to be a bit different for us!
⚡️⚡️⚡️
There'll be three of us on stage, as we have the awesome James Fox joining us on backing vocals, guitar, and percussion.
When we recorded the album, we were consciously shaping it so that we’d be able to recreate it fully live, and we’re genuinely buzzing about putting this show together and bringing those songs to life on stage with you.

We’re deep into writing sessions with Ads and Foxy (making the most of being at home while Baby Bondy is due to arrive in the next month or so), but we keep catching ourselves slipping into tour rehearsals because we’re just so excited about building this live show and imagining how it’s all going to feel in those rooms with you.

 Much Love
Grace & Aaron  
P.S. We’ve also created a really cool new Rhythm Rust & Static T-shirt if you fancy being tour-ready.

The design features a vintage analogue mixing desk, because this album is raw, hands-on, and properly old-school. It’s up on the online store now if you want to grab one ahead of the shows.

We've made a big change...

We wanted to share a quick update about how we’re releasing our music. You’ll still be able to buy everything directly from us as usual, but our releases will no longer be available through record stores...

Our third album Aces Are High was our first record to be available in HMV and independent record stores, and it was a huge milestone for us. Seeing our music on those shelves was something we’d dreamed about from the very beginning, and supporting independent record shops has always been incredibly important to us. We were proud to be part of that world!

But we've made a big change...

As a fully independent band, self-managed and self-released, we’ve made the decision to focus entirely on selling direct. The scale and logistics required for physical distribution are designed around major-label systems, and choosing to step away from that model allows us to stay true to how we work and how we want to run things.

The upside is that this gives us complete control over quality, fulfilment, and customer care, something we really pride ourselves on. If there’s ever an issue, we can deal with it quickly and personally, and make sure your experience is exactly how it should be.

We’ve got huge respect for record stores and what they do, and this decision isn’t about moving away from that, it’s about choosing the most sustainable and independent path forward for us.

We’ve got a brand-new music video coming out this Friday for “Coming Up For Air” ⚡️

It’s a really personal one, and we’ll be digging a little deeper into what it means to us at 10am GMT on Friday.

Much Love
Grace & Aaron  

We’ve Been Quiet for a Reason 🖤⚡️

As the year comes to a close, we just wanted to say a huge thank you, and give you a quick update before we head into the new year!
We’ve got some big plans lined up for the year ahead. We’ve been pretty quiet lately because we’ve been locked away finishing our brand-new album, Rhythm Rust & Static, alongside planning two tours and a whole load of other projects behind the scenes… including Baby Bondy.
Just a quick reminder as well, today is the last day to order your WRM 2026 Calendar, so if you want one, make sure you grab it before the year ticks over.

Thanks for being part of this journey with us. We wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

See you on the other side...
Much Love
Grace & Aaron

Thank You for an Unforgettable 2025 🖤⚡️

 We’ve been looking back on everything that’s happened in 2025 and honestly, it’s been our most incredible year yet.  

From the release of Addicted To You back in May, and getting the #4 spot in the Official Album Charts, taking that album out on the road for the Addicted To You Release Tour, this year has been filled with moments we’ll never forget.
Supporting Blue Öyster Cult at the Palladium was also a huge milestone for us a true “pinch me” moment and we’re so grateful we got to share it with you.

⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️

The summer festivals were absolutely fantastic, and then came the Tree of Life Tour throughout the autumn… what an adventure. Your support is the reason independent music is alive and well, and we feel that truth every time we step on stage. 

We also want to say a massive thank you to everyone who supported our Crowdfund for our upcoming album. Your belief in us means more than you’ll ever know, and it allows us to keep creating and releasing music we love and on our own terms. 

A special thanks as well to the brilliant artists who shared the stage with us this year... Pistol Daisies on the Addicted To You Release Tour, and Georgia Nevada as our special guest on the Tree of Life Tour. Georgia is on tour soon, so don’t miss her upcoming dates >TICKETS< 

One of the best things about this industry is how it constantly evolves, you go to see one artist, and you end up discovering others you’ve never heard before. It’s all one big musical revolution, and being independent means we get to choose artists we truly believe in to come out on the road with us.

And on a personal note… 2025 has been extra special for another reason. We’ve got a little baby on the way next March, and knowing we’re bringing new life into this wild, beautiful world has made every moment this year feel even more meaningful.

Thank you for coming to the shows, for singing your lungs out, for supporting our releases, for being part of our journey, and for championing independent music alongside us.

2025 has been our best year yet and we can’t wait to see what next year brings.

🎄 Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 🎄

Touring And Recording 🎸🔥

We’ve just got back from our run of shows in Galashiels, Inverness, and Aberdeen, and honestly Scotland, you never let us down! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Every time we travel north, we’re blown away by the energy, the people, and the love in the room. Thank you to everyone who came out it really was an incredible few days.

🔥 🔥 🔥

The good news is, our Tree of Life Tour is far from over! There are still plenty of dates left and tickets are selling fast, so if you’ve been thinking about coming to see us, now’s the time.

With Grace being pregnant, we won’t be touring again until late next year, so we’d love to see you at one of the upcoming shows while you can! 

In other news…
 

The new album is officially taking shape! All the songs are written, and we’ll be heading back into the studio soon to record them.

This one’s a little different a raw, stripped-back trio album we’re creating with Ads and Foxy. It feels like a real return to our roots, and we can’t wait for you to hear what’s coming.

⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️

That’s one of the best things about being independent we get to follow our instincts and make the music we believe in. No rules, no limits, just us doing what we love.

Thanks as always for being part of this journey we honestly couldn’t do it without you.

 
Much Love

A week in the life of WRM 🎸🔥

We’ve spent some time back in the studio with Ads and Foxy, working on our new album… and honestly, the songs are coming together so well. We’re really excited about the direction this one’s taking. It’s got that raw, less-produced energy that just feels alive. There’s something really special happening with this record, and we can’t wait for you to hear where it’s heading. If you fancy an early listen, we’re sharing sneak previews over on our Patreon.

We also had an incredible photo shoot with the legendary Rob Blackham on Lightship 95, which is the floating recording studio docked opposite the O2 in London. The setting was unreal… all vintage vibes and valve amps. We wanted to get the shoot done early for the new album cover, Grace had a specific dress in mind, and the days were numbered for it to fit (thanks to the growing baby bump 😅).

Now we’re on our way up to Scotland for the Tree of Life Tour. 

Between photoshoots, the studio, and the shows, it’s a bit chaotic — but we’re loving every minute of it. It feels amazing to be creating new music while also being out there playing live and connecting with everyone again.

The Tree of Life Has New Meaning for Us

We just want to take a moment to say a huge, heartfelt thank you to every single one of you. 

 We’ve been absolutely blown away by all the love, kind words, and good wishes we’ve received since sharing our baby news. Honestly, we’re still a little lost for words. To feel so much warmth from you all our extended WRM family means more than we can ever express.

 It’s such an emotional and exciting time for us both, and it’s made us reflect even more deeply on what The Tree of Life Tour truly means. This tour has always been about growth, connection, and celebrating life, but now it carries a whole new meaning for us personally. 

 Every show so far has felt incredibly special the energy, the people, the moments we’ve shared. We’ve loved being on the road with our band, playing songs that tell our story, and seeing so many familiar faces (and new ones too!) singing along.

As we look ahead, we’re filled with joy and hope for everything the future holds both for our little family and for what’s still to come musically.

We’ve still got lots more shows to play on this tour, and we can’t wait to see more of you out there, celebrating this next chapter with us.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of our journey. Your support has made everything possible and it truly feels like we’re all growing together through this next season of life and music.

Much Love

A Big Thank You 🙏 + The Tree of Life Tour Dates

We’ve just finished the first few shows on our Tree of Life Tour and honestly, it’s been absolutely amazing. We love being out on the road, travelling across the country, and seeing so many of you come out to listen to our music 🔥

Supporting live music is so important, not just for the artists who get to step on stage, but for the venues and festivals themselves.

These iconic spaces are such an important part of our journey, from grassroot pubs all the way to and including amazing Castles and Caves. They give us as musicians a chance to grow, and they give you the chance to experience live music in places that are intimate, powerful, and accessible.
