ME REX
Sunny Side Down
for fans of… Los Campesinos!, Noah and the Whale, Frightened Rabbit, WHY?

November 22nd, 2023

Brighton’s ME REX began life in 2018 in the home of songwriter Myles McCabe experimenting with shouty, electronic bedroom pop. Touring the culmination of six EPs across the UK and Europe – in 2020 the band have securely found their feet. Joined by Phoebe Cross (Happy Accidents/cheerbleederz), Rich Mandell (Happy Accidents) and Kathryn Woods (Fresh/cheerbleederz), ME REX feels more like a collective idea rather than following an established formula: taking inspiration from the instantly definable electronics and acoustics of WHY?, the rhythms of Joanna Newsom and lyrical prowess of Los Campesinos. The result is a collection of songs that is coloured in shades of melancholy and happiness in equal parts.

Dan Byrne

November 19th, 2023

UK’s rock radio titans Planet Rock penned: “Expect his music to walk to the beat of legends past but with its own distinctly modern, toe-tapping swagger” in anticipation of his new music, and who can argue? As whether it’s chart success, selling out venues or working with industry heavyweights, Liverpool-born vocalist and songwriter Dan Byrne has checked it off. The former frontman and songwriter of Revival Black (who notably entered the UK Official Charts at #2 this year) is now set to reach new heights showcasing his voice and presence as a solo artist. Fresh out of legendary producer Andy Snap’s studio, where Dan tracked lead vocals for Myke Gray’s (Skin, Jagged edge, UFO) latest release, he is now laser focused and raring to release his new material to a new, wider audience.

Puppy Teeth

The band released their debut single ‘I Don’t Mind’ in 2022, followed by the self-produced ‘Back in a Minute’ the following year.
