The first single from our new album lands Friday!

This Friday we’re releasing the first single from our new album Rhythm Rust & Static. The song is called The Tide Is Turning.
This one comes from those nights out on the road when everything feels a little rough around the edges. The windows are rattling from the amps, the venue is packed and noisy, there’s the smell of beer in the air and the floors are sticky beneath your feet.
️️️It captures that moment just before stepping on stage when the anticipation starts to build and you can feel the energy of the room coming alive. Underneath it all there’s a feeling that this is exactly where you’re meant to be. It’s a feeling we both crave.

Recently we were walking past a venue and could hear a band soundchecking inside. It wasn’t our show, but the moment we heard the band through the walls we both felt that same rush of excitement and anticipation you get just before a gig.
That moment is exactly what this song is about.
The Tide Is Turning will be released at 10am GMT on Friday across all streaming platforms, and the music video will go live at the same time. We can’t wait for you to hear and see it.

🔥🔥🔥
This single is the first glimpse into the world of our upcoming album Rhythm Rust & Static, which arrives on the 29th May.
If you’d like to pre-order the album, there are only a small handful of the High Voltage limited vinyl still available.

P.S. We’ve also just released a couple of live videos today if you fancy watching something while we count down to Friday.

The power of creative limitations...

The pre-order for Rhythm Rust & Static opens this Friday (6 March) at 10am GMT, and we’re really excited to finally start sharing more about how this record came together. 

When we started working on Rhythm Rust & Static, we decided to approach this album a little differently.

Usually we record everything in one focused block of time in the studio. This time the songs came together gradually throughout the year, which allowed the record to evolve naturally and gave each track the space to become what it needed to be.

We also set ourselves a creative limitation.

When we made Addicted To You, we recorded it as a six-piece band, because we knew we wanted to recreate that album live exactly as it sounded on the record. That meant bringing in two new band members and building those bigger arrangements with layered harmonies and instrumentation.

With Rhythm Rust & Static, we wanted to explore the opposite idea… something rawer, more stripped back and more intense.
⚡️⚡️⚡️
Part of that inspiration came from recording “Soulbreaker” for the Matt Long tribute album. That track naturally leaned towards a more stripped-back arrangement, and it sparked the idea of exploring that sound further.

Our drummer James Fox is also a multi-instrumentalist and co-writer on the album, and after how much we enjoyed our duo tour, we started thinking how fun it would be to take that intimacy and just expand it slightly, bringing Foxy along and touring this record as a three-piece.

We also worked again with our longtime producer Adam Bowers, who co-wrote the songs with us and, as always, was instrumental in shaping the sound of the record.

It creates a different energy on stage and keeps everything within the same limitations we used when recording the album.

But don’t worry… this doesn’t mean the six-piece shows are disappearing! We absolutely love playing with the full band and we’ll definitely be back out as a six-piece again soon. It’s fantastic to have the freedom to explore these different ways of performing the music.

If you’d like to see where we’ll be heading out on the trio tour, you can find the dates >here<

Much Love

P.S. Baby Bondy is due any day now… so things are getting very exciting (and slightly unpredictable!) in the Bond household at the moment.

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.

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 🎄

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.

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.

⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️

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.
