With bright and engaging downward chord progressions, we were immediately hooked by Kent and Surrey-based Colder Suns‘ new single, Seeds. With a melancholic vibe, almost reminiscent of nu-metal, Seeds is a journey of refined instrumentation combined with narrative driven and visual lyricism.

Seeds marks the bands third single since 2021, following up the epic I.A.N. and Chemicals, which you can also stream below.

Speaking on the track, the band says that “the song is about how even the smallest of erroneous misunderstandings can blow up into something huge and corrupt one’s thinking until it becomes all consuming.”

The track is rich in guitar artistry and we particularly love the pace change for the middle-8 which allows the narrative to come through with the lyricism and poetic vocal delivery.

Seeds features Ben Martin on vocals and guitars, Paul Hayes on guitars, Redd Reddington on drums, and Charlie Hayes on bass. The band organically formed over the course of 15-years, and the refinement of the product is really testament to that.

When asked about their influences, Colder Suns cites Foo Fighters, Guns & Roses, Velvet Revolver, The Cult and Stereophonics. Colder Suns recorded Seeds at The Brook Studios in London with Andy Brook – the legendary music producer who has worked with the likes of Ginger Wildheart, Uriah Heap, Bonnie Tyler and more.

Speaking on the evolution of Seeds, band member and guitarist, Paul Hayes said, “I really love it when you go into the studio with a strong idea in your mind of how a track will turn out, only to see it changing and augmenting in-front of you, it’s a very cathartic process. I think the end result is something we are really proud of.“
