London-based band Baytrees are back with their latest single, “Bottle Of Wine,” a feel-good anthem soaked in 80s classic pop-rock nostalgia, with just the right touch of funk. A song about escape—catching a flight somewhere warm with someone special and getting lost in the moment—it’s an effortless blend of vibrant melodies and smooth grooves, a testament to the band’s dynamic sound.
Brothers Mensah and Kwame, who grew up in a deeply musical household in Brixton, infuse “Bottle Of Wine” with an undeniable sense of joy and freedom. Raised by a reggae musician father and a mother with an enviable 60s rock record collection, their eclectic influences shine through.
Their early days in music saw them busking on the streets of Brixton and even landing a deal with Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood’s label, which led to supporting the Stones themselves, as well as legendary acts like the Sex Pistols. After a brief hiatus following their time as The Thirst, the duo re-emerged as Baytrees, alongside guitarist Cujoue and drummer Tom, bringing new energy and fresh sonic direction.
With “Bottle Of Wine,” Baytrees delivers a shimmering, infectious groove that feels both nostalgic and refreshing. The track’s soaring guitars, breezy rhythm, and singalong-worthy chorus make it an instant earworm—perfect for road trips, late-night drives, or simply dreaming of that next getaway. A confident return from a band with serious pedigree, “Bottle Of Wine” cements Baytrees as a force to watch in the UK music scene.
