"Turns out lightning really does strike twice – I’ve seen this band twice, been mind-blown twice, and had twice the fun. This is the magic of Another Day, Kent-based indie grunge quartet that has taken London by storm on the second to last date of their headline UK tour.
As winter turned to spring on the night of the 21st of March, these guys were setting fire to the rain with a blistering set that proved why they’re one of the most exciting rising acts in the scene. With a sound that fuses 90s raw grunge grit with the melodic sensibilities of modern indie rock, Another Day took the stage with a confidence that belied their years.
Louis Hillier’s raunchy, unbridled vocals are skilfully complemented by brother Jonte’s soulful bass and enhanced by cousin Charlie’s scorching lead guitar riffs. A special mention is due to the band’s newest, brilliant addition – friend and drummer Mitch Fuller, laying down the backbone of every track with extreme precision and effortless flair.
Their presence is explosive – so much so that the stage barely contains them. Louis’ background in freestyle trampoline takes their performance to another level, quite literally. Mid-set, they’re launching into spins and flips, adding a raw, untamed energy that amplifies the band’s gritty, theatrical edge. It’s not just a gig; it’s a spectacle. What sets them apart isn’t just their sound but their ability to weave poetry, performance, and sheer chaos into a single, cohesive act. Before each set, their friend Astille Doherty takes the stage, bathed in suspenseful instrumentals, to deliver suggestive spoken word poetry. It’s an unexpected contrast – poetic vulnerability meets the untamed fury of grunge rock – setting the tone for what feels less like a show and more like a three-act play.
They start by pulling you in, easing the crowd into their world with the pulse of their latest single Merry Go Round from their newest EP “Doghouse Roses.” It’s irresistibly catchy – the kind of track that lingers in your head for days – and the perfect spark to get the crowd moving. The energy is electric, bodies swaying, the atmosphere set. Then, the mood shifts – a few seconds to breathe before they send everything into overdrive. Act two is all about depth, emotion, and grit, as they launch into Guilty, a song that balances grunge’s raw intensity with an undeniable catchiness. It’s brooding yet gripping, heavy with feeling but impossible not to sing along to. Then, just when you think you’ve caught your breath, they hit with the final act – a full-throttle, no-holds-barred climax that leaves the room in absolute mayhem. You don’t just watch Another Day – you survive them. And you leave knowing you’ve witnessed something rare: a band that doesn’t just play music but builds an entire world on stage.
Their chemistry is undeniable – the kind that only comes from being close family. It’s in the way they move together, the way they play off each other so naturally. That tightness translates into their sound; every member has their moment to shine, whether it’s a blistering guitar riff, a thunderous drum break, or a bass line that takes centre stage. Live, they’re grittier, rawer – there’s a cutting edge that isn’t fully captured in their recorded material, making their performance feel even more special. The emotion is tangible, surging through every note, every lyric. You don’t just hear it – you feel it in your bones.
One thing’s for sure – once you’ve seen them, you’ll want to do it all over again. Don’t make the mistake of missing out once they hit the UK again, you’ll understand why you will always want to see them Another Day."
