The Rills
The Rills, a rising band from Lincoln, UK, have garnered attention with their latest single "Your Dad's Car." This track, which is part of their debut LP announcement, showcases their signature blend of sharp lyrics and infectious indie rock energy. "Your Dad's Car" is a nostalgic yet biting commentary on the small-town experience, delivered with the band’s characteristic wit and punchy instrumentation. The accompanying music video complements the song's themes with a fittingly retro and gritty visual aesthetic, highlighting the band's DIY roots and unique style.

"The Rills are dead! Long live The Rills" says frontman & guitarist Mitch Spencer. "We want to create something new from the old ways" adds bassist Callum Warner-Webb. The two have humble beginnings on the skateparks of Lincoln, forming nearly-bands over a decade ago. "We like to keep moving, it's sink or swim" jolts drummer Mason Cassar, also testing the waters in bands around Essex.
The desire for culture and community led Mitch & Callum to Sheffield where 5am jobs in fridges & night shifts stagnated their music making. Eventually settling on universities in London, where they met Mason. "He actually came up to us and said "you need a drummer, I'm your man"." Tells Callum, followed by Mason's retort "That's cause I heard you ask thirty people before me".
Bound by a love of Arctic Monkeys & garage rock, the band found new inspiration from contemporaries like IDLES and Fontaines DC. A DIY ethos permeates through everything The Rills do. "We've always taken things into our own hands. TikTok was our way of taking control & doing things our own way" Mitch explains about the band's explosion onto the scene in 2020. The band made what they describe as "funny, stupid videos" on the app during lockdown which gathered them a huge international audience.
The band will be touring in November playing The Drill at Lincoln on the 2nd Nov and Nottingham’s Rough Trade on the 4th Nov. Go check them out.
