London band away fans release intoxicating new single ‘Keeping On’ ft. SEY.MOUR.
away fans are an indie-rock four piece from London that set out to make music that gets everyone dancing, screaming and misbehaving. With a comprehensive and electric live performance described as “infectious dirty dance” with “propulsive disco rhythms”, they never leave a crowd standing on their heels. Fresh from their first two UK tours and three dates in New York in the last 12 months, their live show is set to continue to breathe life into the dingy basements, dancefloors and fields of the UK.
‘Keeping On’, the new single by away fans, marks a departure from the band’s previous releases, with a heavier focus on electronic dance elements blended into live band performance. It is also the band’s first collaboration with singer SEY.MOUR., whose backing vocals add layers of interesting texture and warmth to the intoxicating mixture.
“The song is about that moment post-argument with your partner, when the initial anger has faded and you just wanna sort things out but don’t know how. That sort of malaise when you’re desperate to get back to how things were but aren’t quite sure how to get there”, says away fans lead vocalist Tom Fisher. “We took inspiration from bands like Primal Scream and The Prodigy, who managed to keep the live feel of a band, whilst still fitting in with the rave and party scene”, he further adds.
When recording ‘Keeping On’, away fans utilised pre-programmed drums, blended with live performance, to create a rich layered sound which references jungle and drum and bass breaks, whilst still feeling like a guitar band. They also generated unique samples to layer throughout the track providing interesting rhythms and textures. The result is a sound that is infected with murky post-punk attitude and ‘Madchester’ rave scene style grooves, but with the band’s own London scene grit and determination binding everything together into a tightly packed punch of vibrant engaging music.

Clear your head, turn the lights down low, and let the nostalgia take over — because Scottish singer-songwriter Daniel Leckerman just dropped “Karma”, and this hypnotic electro-pop gem knows exactly how to make the past feel close again.
Shimmering synths, driving bass, atmospheric production, and deeply personal lyrics come together for a track that lives somewhere between a late-night dancefloor and that quiet moment when you find yourself thinking about someone — or somewhere — you thought you’d left behind.
Because sometimes, you don’t really leave the past behind.
Sometimes, it finds its way back to you.
“Karma” explores nostalgia, comfort, growth, and those strange connections that continue to shape us long after we think we’ve moved on. Maybe “you” is a person. Maybe it’s a place. Maybe it’s an old version of yourself.
Whatever it is, Daniel asks the question:
What if some things are meant to come back when the time is right?
Daniel says it best:
“This song is about nostalgia, comfort, and letting go of the past.”
And there’s so much more to this artist than the music.
As a queer and disabled artist and passionate disability advocate, Daniel is also the founder of The Harmony Dialogue, a platform working to make the music industry more accessible and representative.
From supporting emerging artists in Glasgow’s grassroots scene to producing intimate live events and championing disabled voices, Daniel is building a career rooted in connection; both onstage and off.
With previous support from BBC Introducing, “Karma” feels like the perfect next chapter: emotional, uplifting, nostalgic, and just mysterious enough to keep you pressing replay.
So turn it up.
Think about the people, places, and memories that shaped you.
And remember:
If it’s meant to find you again, maybe it will. ✨🪩
