With their particular brand of indie alt/rock, The Loners, are an exhilarating and compelling 3 piece rock band from the UK made up of Nathan De La Mar on Lead vocals and Lead Guitar, Mark Munro on Backing Vocals and Bass Guitar and Stuart Grant on Backing Vocals and Drums.
Since their inception in 2019 The Loners have captured the attention of audiences all around the world with their catalogue of releases showcasing their catchy tunes, unadulterated energy, and thought-provoking lyrics.
The Loners take influence in their sound from the ultimate rock classics whilst also adding in their own contemporary twist to the music creating a sound that is both nostalgic and avant-garde cutting edge at the same time.
The Loners have a raw genuineness about them that is both relatable and invigorating. Their lyrics they write strike a profound chord with listeners as they explore topics of love, self-discovery, and the human condition. Coupled with their ability to blur the lines of genre between indie and rock, The Loners are a breath of fresh air in a world of repetitive tunes and generic sounds that permeates so much of new music today.
The band have said of the track:-
“The Game was written during lockdown and it is basically about mental health and the effects it has on a person. The word “game,” is used as a metaphor about “Life” and how one might struggle to put on a front for everyone, but may be struggling internally”
‘The Game’ is straight off the bat with high octane power chords and dancing drum beats. Musically it's ultimately a stadium worthy rock ballad filled with epic guitar solos and thrashing drums, but that is contrasted beautifully with wistful, thought provoking lyricism hinting at the seriousness of the inspiration behind the track. Mixing these two elements together and you really get a feel for where The Loners are trying to go with their music, breaking free from the restraints of what is considered the norm.
The Game was written by Nathan De La Mar and was Recorded and produced by Andrew Shepard at Venice of the North Studios.
