Broncos – release visceral new single ‘Lover’ ahead of Irish live dates

Formed as various other projects dissolved or never properly formed for Michael (drums) and Cameron (guitar/backing vocals), it wasn’t until Shane(vocals/bass) joined that Broncos finally took it’s shape. They heralded their arrival onto the scene with ‘Erode’, their anthemic post-hardcore debut single in September 2024. Follow up ‘Lights Out’ was release in January 2025, recalling the reckless intensity of At The Drive-In. Now, almost a year to the day from their debut, they return with their third single ‘Lover’. Their most focused and visceral work to date. ‘Lover’ is a ravaging 2 minutes 45 seconds that balances post-hardcore screams from Cameron and Michael, Shane’s more angelic soaring vocals, pummelling rhythms and a neck snapping stadium moving chorus. It’s a more complex sound than previous, fully exploring the post-hardcore spectrum and incorporating subtle synths to help add depth and dimension to their sound. Lyrically ‘Lover’ addresses the push pull duality in a relationship, the ambiguity that can surround a situationship juxtaposed against the desire for something deeper and more meaning, while protecting yourself in the face of potential/inevitable heart break Staying true to the DIY ethos at the heart of the band, ‘Lover’ was recorded in the band’s practice space with Shane at the controls. Mastering was completed by long time collaborator Dan Coutant (Drug Church,Coliseum).

The single is released ahead of a string of live dates in the remainder of the year, including an appearance at the Old Crows Promotions curated stage at the prestigious Output festival in Belfast on September 25th in Ulster Sports Club – which is a free show.
