Para Alta drop their new track ‘Backseat Driver’ tomorrow, Friday 24th November, but if you’re up for a special treat, you can check it out first on Dork now.
The Hartlepool formed four-piece – Jonny Bee (vocals/guitar), Luke Cowley (guitar), Tommy Sotheran (drums), and Sonny Williamson (bass) – upped sticks to East London at the start of the year before hitting the road. After a summer of writing together in their living-room-slash-studio, they struck gold with this slice of melodic brilliance, which you can listen to below.
“‘Backseat Driver’ is a tune close to our hearts and one we’ve been holding back for too long,” says Jonny. “The song itself is a classic tale of a lovers tussle behind the wheel of a relationship. It’s a song we feel best represents who and where we are as a band, it’s a favourite of ours and hopefully for everyone else now too.”
Catch Para Alta live at Hit The Bar in Middlesbrough, on Saturday 25th November.
