Stockport’s electrifying alt-rock quartet, The Rolling People, has made a defining statement with their latest EP, Before It’s Gone, now available on LAB Records. Following the success of their previous singles, including the soaring “I’ll Be There” and the fan-favorite “Better Man,” this new collection of tracks showcases the band at their most dynamic, blending emotional depth with the raw energy that has become their trademark.
Before It’s Gone is a testament to The Rolling People’s growth as artists and performers. The title track emerges as a powerful anthem infused with urgency and introspection, setting the tone for an emotional journey through themes of ambition, fleeting opportunities, and the relentless pursuit of dreams. Each track highlights the band’s evolving sound, featuring stormy guitar riffs and Charlie McNichol’s commanding vocals, which cut through with a passion that is both palpable and contagious.
Reflecting on the EP, frontman McNichol expresses, “We wanted to create something that captured the feeling of time slipping away, the idea that you have to seize every moment before it’s gone. This EP is about embracing that urgency and channeling it into our music. It’s our way of saying we’re here to make the most of everything we’ve got.”
The release of Before It’s Gone coincides with the promotion of The Rolling People’s biggest headline show to date at Manchester’s O2 Ritz on December 21st. This landmark event is set to culminate an incredible year for the band, who have been steadily building momentum with sold-out shows and high-profile support slots across the UK. The Ritz gig is not just another performance; it’s a celebration of their journey and a bold step towards even bigger stages.
In addition to their headline dates, The Rolling People continue to make waves on the live circuit, sharing stages with fellow rising stars such as The K’s and Andrew Cushin. Their ability to connect with audiences through both their recordings and live performances has only solidified their reputation as one of the most exciting new bands on the scene.
With Before It’s Gone, The Rolling People have delivered a powerful EP that not only cements their place in the UK’s rock landscape but also hints at even greater things to come. As they prepare for their biggest show yet, the band is ready to take their rightful place among the leading voices of a new generation of British rock. This EP is a must-listen for fans of heartfelt, energetic rock music that resonates with urgency and authenticity.
