small talk (Bournemouth)

Hailing from the coastal town of Bournemouth, Small Talk are an indie-rock band flying the flag for a whole new generation of guitar-driven pop music. When frontman Ben Lewis and drummer Harry Whitton joined forces in the summer of 2021 untied by the frustrations of the lockdown era, they meshed their musical influences together to create a sound they instantly knew was right. With mammoth guitar lines, singalong riffs and euphoric melodies, Small Talk's song writing has a level of maturity you wouldn't expect with all members being in their early 20s. With the addition of lead guitarist Mickey Golicher and bassist Rob White, Small Talk began making a name for themselves with their energetic live shows and unique social media presence. The band have, thus far, released six singles, most recently ‘Lost In The Moment’ and ‘Always Always’ which claimed their first plays on Radio X. Previous releases include ‘Headstart’ and ‘Paris’ in 2022, plus ‘Lifeline’ and ‘This is Not The End’ together with debut EP ‘Teenage Fear’ which sold out its physical run in just 20 hours earlier
