Giant Killers Shares “When This Time is Over” Live at Teddy Rocks Festival
Shot live at the Teddy Rocks Festival in Dorset in May 2024, “When This Time is Over” marks Giant Killers’ first video release in 28 years. The video blends vibrant live performance footage from the main stage with intimate, candid moments featuring festival goers and friends backstage. This combination creates a nostalgic yet triumphant tribute to the power of friendship and shared experiences, all underscored by the inevitable passage of time.
The live footage was captured with special permission from the festival organizers, as the band members were initially there to perform with other groups throughout the weekend. Teddy Rocks is a unique charity event where all profits go towards supporting children with cancer, adding a layer of meaning and purpose to the performance. The positive reception of Giant Killers’ performance at the festival has set the stage for their eagerly anticipated full gig at the Shiiine On Weekender festival in November.
Teddy Rocks Festival is renowned for its mission to raise funds for children with cancer, providing a platform for musicians to come together for a cause that transcends entertainment. The festival creates a community spirit, with artists and attendees united by a shared purpose. The inclusion of Giant Killers, who performed a special one-song set, added to the festival’s unique and heartfelt atmosphere.
Following the warm reception at Teddy Rocks, Giant Killers are now gearing up for their first full gig in decades at the Shiiine On Weekender in November. This major festival appearance is highly anticipated, as fans old and new look forward to experiencing the band’s dynamic live performance once again.
Songwriters often draw from personal experience, but what makes Just a Daydream stand out is the way AMBER reshapes those experiences through imagination. Instead of presenting events exactly as they happened, she builds scenes that feel colourful, expressive and full of possibility, giving the songs a distinctive identity from the very beginning.
That approach reflects the idea behind the EP’s title. What begins as a passing thought or a hopeful fantasy gradually develops into something more tangible, carrying listeners through romance, longing, disappointment and, ultimately, self-acceptance. The songs remain connected by that thread, making the EP feel like one continuous conversation rather than a collection of separate ideas.
Musically, AMBER blends soul, jazz, funk and pop touches without allowing any one influence to dominate. The lively pulse of “Say What” explores the confusion that can grow from crossed wires, while “Aromatherapy” offers a gentler close, bringing the emotional journey to a place of calm reflection.
Working with producer Kipper Eldridge, AMBER has created a debut that places storytelling at its heart. Every musical choice supports the atmosphere of the songs, allowing the lyrics and performances to take centre stage. Out now through Now Listen, Just a Daydream is more than a collection of well-made tracks. It is an invitation into a creative world where imagination gives everyday emotions a fresh perspective and where even the smallest moments have a story worth telling.
