Concrete Club have released their latest single “People Like Us” via Emu Bands, a track that showcases the band at their most immediate and uncompromising.
From the first moments, “People Like Us” announces itself with a funky indie guitar line that grabs your attention straight away. The drums kick in, the synths add a layer of melodic sugar, and then Rowetta’s featured vocals arrive like a punch to the chest, huge and impossible to ignore. It’s a song that moves from cool and controlled to absolutely gripping in the space of a few bars.
The track finds Concrete Club doing what they do best, blending the best instincts of post-punk and modern indie rock into something that feels both rooted in Manchester’s musical DNA and entirely of the moment. There’s something about the song’s structure that keeps pulling you back in, whether it’s the way the synths sit in the mix or how the rhythm section locks into that hypnotic groove that makes you want to move.
Concrete Club have become fixtures in Manchester’s underground scene over the past couple of years, building a following through relentless touring and a refusal to sand down the harder edges of their sound. Their songs orbit around real life stuff: the weight of city living, nights that blur into mornings, the search for meaning in chaos. “People Like Us” continues that thread, delivering something that’s both personal and universal at the same time.
The band features Jonny Brewster on vocals, Kallum Delf on guitar, Mark Demuth on bass, and Jamie Butterworth on synths. For this track, they brought in Rowetta as featured vocalist and Jonny McGill on drums, giving the song a fresh energy while keeping the Concrete Club fingerprints all over it.
“People Like Us” is available now on all streaming platforms through Emu Bands and it is not one to miss!
