Indie-pop duo Giant Killers are here to prove that some things just get better with age—like fine wine or that old Blur tour t-shirt you’ve kept since the ’90s. The band has just dropped their second single, “Around the Blocks”, from their album Songs From The Small Places, and it’s as catchy as a Lightning Seeds track (seriously, it’s been described as “the best song the Lightning Seeds never wrote!”).

This track isn’t just another song—it’s an anthem for anyone who’s ever had to fight a little harder for their slice of happiness. So, what’s the story behind this earworm? Picture this: Jamie Wortley and Michael Brown, the masterminds behind Giant Killers, spent their formative years in communities where the odds weren’t exactly stacked in their favor. But instead of wallowing, they turned those experiences into gold. “Around the Blocks” is their love letter to the neighborhoods that shaped them, the overlooked places where people work twice as hard for half the credit. It’s a shoutout to the underdogs, and if you’ve ever been one, this song is your new anthem.

Now, here’s the kicker—this track isn’t new. It was a crowd favorite back in the day when Giant Killers were touring with Blur and the Blow Monkeys. But now, they’ve given it a 2024 makeover that’s set to win over a whole new generation of fans. And just like the song says, sometimes life really does come full circle.

So, what’s next for these indie-pop veterans? With “Around the Blocks” leading the charge, it’s safe to say the comeback is in full swing. Whether you’re reliving your youth or discovering Giant Killers for the first time, this is one band that proves good things really do come to those who wait—about 30 years, give or take.
