Only the poets 2025
By Charlotte Stace
British indie-pop band Only The Poets comes to Apolo. Formed in Reading in 2017, the group has steadily built a dedicated following through touring and word-of-mouth buzz. Current band members are lead-vocalist and guitarist Tommy Longhurst, Clem Cherry on guitar and vocals, Andy Burge on bass and vocals, and Marcus Yates on drums and vocals.
Their first single, Ceasefire, was released in 2017, which saw over 22,000 views on YouTube. In the following years, they released singles like “Dead Young” (2018) and “Looking at You” (2019) which saw their monthly listeners on Spotify increase. It wasn't until 2020 that they released their debut EP “Speak Out”, which was a preview of their next work and their first album, Demos. Released in 2021, it’s been the key to positioning the group on the indie scene.
After a couple of years of songwriting and recording, they’re back with their latest record, One More Night (2024).
