When we wrote this song, we were thinking about how easy it can be to let other people’s opinions influence the decisions we make, sometimes without even realising it. And that’s not just something we’ve experienced with music. It’s something we’ve both had to learn in our personal lives too.

Over the years, we’ve come to realise that you can’t please everyone. There will always be people who think you should be doing things differently, making different choices or living your life in a certain way. And when those opinions come from people you care about, it can be particularly difficult not to let them influence you.

But one thing we’ve learnt together is the importance of trusting ourselves and each other. We don’t always get everything right, and we’ve certainly made mistakes along the way, but we’d rather learn from our own decisions than spend our lives following somebody else’s expectations.

That same belief has shaped our music and we’ve always believed in doing things our own way, even when it’s meant taking the harder road.

Because at the end of the day, the most important thing is being able to look back and know we've lived a life in a way that feels true

Which brings us to somewhere rather special… Radio Caroline.

We filmed the music video for Never Change aboard the Ross Revenge, the former pirate radio ship that’s now home to Radio Caroline. Back in the 1960s, Radio Caroline challenged the established broadcasting system by playing music that people wanted to hear, rather than simply following what the mainstream stations were offering. It became a symbol of independence, freedom and doing things differently.

So filming Never Change aboard such an iconic ship felt particularly fitting.

Radio Caroline stood up for something it believed in, even when the odds were stacked against it. And although our journey is very different, that independent spirit is something we’ve always connected with.

For us, Never Change isn’t about refusing to grow or evolve. It’s about knowing who you are and holding on to that, whatever life throws at you.

We thought we’d share the video with you again, especially now you know a little more about the story behind it.

We’d love to hear your thoughts. Have you ever had to trust your instincts and take a different path from the one everyone expected you to follow?

Much Love

⚡️ Backbone Tour Special Guests Announced

October 9, 2026

Grace Bond

We’re very excited to announce our special guests for the Backbone Tour! ️

Eddie & The Wolves will be joining us across the tour. As soon as we heard their music, we instantly connected with what they were doing and knew you were going to love them too. They’re also genuinely lovely guys, and we’re really looking forward to having them out on the road with us.
And for our sold-out Christmas show at the John Peel Centre in Stowmarket, we’re very excited to have Clare Free joining us too!
We’ve been following Clare’s music for several years now, so it’s brilliant to finally have her joining us for a show. We know she’s going to make our Christmas night in Stowmarket even more special.

We can’t wait to share the stage with them all. See you on the Backbone Tour!

And Just Like That It's Over!

October 7, 2026

Grace Bond

Well… that’s it! Rhythm Rust & Static Tour is officially over!

This weekend we played the final two shows Arlington Arts, followed by The Black Prince, and what a way to finish.

Newbury was absolutely packed, Northampton was SOLD OUT, and both audiences were just incredible.

This was our first tour in seven months, and our first since having Bobby. Getting back out on the road again felt quite surreal at first. Life looks very different for us now, touring again has definitely been an experience!

When we recorded Rhythm Rust & Static, it was the three of us (including Foxy) in the studio, so we wanted to take that same feeling out on the road. We didn’t really know exactly how it would translate live until we did it… but it just worked.

️We’ve met people who’ve driven for hours, travelled from one end of the country to the other, come to multiple shows and we even had people fly over from the States for our final night in Northampton

The support will never be something we take for granted.

To every single person who bought a ticket, travelled to a show, bought something from the merch stand or simply told somebody else about us…

Thank you for making this tour what it was...

A NEW CHAPTER FOR THE INNER CIRCLE

While one chapter has just ended, another one is just beginning…

We’ve made some big changes to our Inner Circle.

We originally created the Inner Circle because we wanted somewhere we could be closer to the people who really wanted to be part of what we were doin

Over time it grew, changed and became a little more complicated than we intende

So we’ve simplified everythin

There is now just ONE Inner Circle tier on Patreo

Everyone together

In a lot of ways, it feels like we’re bringing the Inner Circle back to what we always loved about it in the first place, a smaller corner of the WRM world where we can share more, talk more, show you what’s happening behind the scenes and bring you along for the journey

We’ll be sharing loads more behind the scenes too... from songwriting, studio sessions and Aaron’s Venue Tours to early access to new songs and videos, live Q&As with us, Inner Circle-only posts and chats, monthly giveaways and access to recordings from the WRM archives.

You’ll also get 24-hour priority access to tickets, 20% off merch and Meet & Greets, access to exclusive From the Vault Inner Circle T-shirt designs, plus a little welcome pack from us when you join.
️ ️ ️
It’s really a place for us to share more of what goes on behind the scenes and give something extra back to the people who support what we do.

If you’ve ever thought about joining us, we’d absolutely love to have you in our Inner Circle.

Here’s to the next chapter.

It's the last weekend!!

October 1, 2026

Grace Bond

It’s a strange feeling to say this already, but this weekend is the last weekend of our Rhythm Rust & Static tour.

After seven months of not touring at all, getting back out there has been amazing. We didn’t realise quite how much we’d missed it until we were standing on a stage again.

If we’re being completely open though, it’s also been more challenging than we expected.

Over the last few months we’ve been learning how to wear a lot of different hats. There’s obviously our biggest new one being Mum and Dad to Bobby alongside releasing Rhythm Rust & Static and everything that comes with running this band independently.

Because we don’t have a Label, Manager, Booking Agent or Promoter when we’re not on stage we’re usually somewhere behind the scenes making sure orders are going out, sorting pre-orders, planning releases, organising tours and generally keeping all the wheels turning. Then suddenly it’s time to put all of that down, pick up a guitar and violin and walk onto a stage

We’ve realised that switching between those different parts of our lives takes a bit more brain space than it used to! But the moment we get on stage, something changes.

Playing live is such a huge part of who we are. There’s an energy and excitement we get from those couple of hours that we just don’t get anywhere else, and after seven months away from it, we know more than ever how much we need it in our lives. So this first tour back has meant a lot to us.
Thank you to everyone who has come out to a show, travelled to see us, chatted to us afterwards or simply been part of this next chapter with us. It’s been pretty special.

We’ve got Newbury and Northampton left this weekend, and then we’ll be putting the touring hat down again for a few weeks… before the big six-piece The Backbone Tour starts at the end of November.

We have a feeling switching that hat back on next time is going to be a little easier.
See you out there...

Much Love

Look what we found...

September 29, 2026

Grace Bond

We came across this old photo of us the other day and spotted “2009” written on the chalkboard behind us… our very first photoshoot!
It got us thinking about just how far we’ve come since then.
If you’d told the two people in this photo that one day we’d have a Top 5 album, headline tours, played across Europe and America, and even find ourselves on a Blues Cruise on the Med… we honestly wouldn’t have believed you.
It was a really lovely, humbling reminder of everything that’s happened over the years... and how lucky we are to still be doing what we love.

And, of course, none of it happens without the incredible support we’ve had along the way. So thank you for being part of it.

Have a great week!
Much Love

We're listening to the Tree Of Life Test Pressing 🔥

September 24, 2026

Grace Bond

We’re sitting here right now listening to the Tree Of Life Live Album vinyl test press… and it sounds EPIC

There’s something about hearing this night back on vinyl that’s really got us. Eyes closed, volume up, and it feels like we're right there back at Islington Assembly Hall.

TREE OF LIFE ~ PRE ORDER

If you haven’t pre-ordered your copy yet, Tree Of Life Live Album is available now, and the vinyl is selling fast...

️Limited signed & hand-numbered double vinyl

What's coming up for WRM!!

September 22, 2026

Grace Bond

It feels really weird to be saying this already, but we’re coming towards the end of our Rhythm Rust & Static Tour! We’ve only got two shows left. Arlington Arts and The Black Prince and after everything this tour has given us, we’re really looking forward to making those final two nights count.

This tour has been such a brilliant experience for us.

There’s been something really special about stripping things back, approaching the songs differently and having the freedom that comes with being a smaller band on the road. With so many nights being sold out and seeing so many of you turning up night after night has made the whole tour what it is.

No time to sit still… The Backbone Tour is looming!

At the end of November, we’ll be heading back out on the road, but this time we’re going in completely the opposite direction. The full six-piece band is coming back together.

Apart from our appearance at Alfold Festival earlier this year, we haven’t been out as a six-piece since the Tree of Life Tour last year. We genuinely cannot wait to get everyone back together.

And there’s another bit of nostalgia attached to this tour, we’ll be travelling together on a tour bus!!!

It’ll be the first time we’ve toured on a bus since the Flying Free Tour back in 2021, so it feels like a bit of a full circle moment. And this time we’ll have our little baby Bobby joining us for the adventure too!

One of the things we love most about being completely independent is the freedom it gives us to make these choices. Whether that’s deciding to head out as a three piece, getting the full six-piece band back together, choosing how and where we tour, or deciding what direction we want to take with a new album those decisions are ours.

Which brings us nicely onto what’s happening behind the scenes…

Back in February, Grace was extremely pregnant with Bobby, Foxy and Ads spent pretty much the entire month with us in our cabin. We were writing, and writing some more.

Soon we’ll be getting back together again to pick up where we left off, working through the songs, creating new ideas and figuring out exactly where we want to take this next record. And we have a direction we want to explore

So there’s a lot happening over the next few months, the final shows of this tour, getting the six-piece back together for the The Backbone Tour, getting back on a tour bus after five years, and then disappearing back into the studio to start creating the next chapter.

Thank you, as always, for coming along for the ride with us. Being independent also means that none of this happens without the people who choose to support what we do and that’s you.

We really couldn’t do it without you.
Much Love

We're Back Out As A Six Piece Band 🔥

September 15, 2026

Grace Bond

The Backbone Tour is getting closer… and we honestly cannot wait for this one!

This November and December, we’re heading back out on the road as a SIX-PIECE BAND for a run of shows celebrating the music that’s brought us all the way to where we are today.

We’ll be digging right back through the WRM catalogue, from the early songs. The EP Collection, We Fly Free, Saving Grace and Aces Are High, all the way up to Addicted To You and Rhythm Rust & Static.

Some of these songs we haven’t played live for a while… and hearing them with six of us on stage is going to be something pretty special...
