The Bluetones Roar Back After 14 Years With Bold New EP ‘Drive Thru’
The wait is over! The Bluetones, one of the UK’s most beloved indie rock bands, are back with a bang after a 14-year break from the studio. Their brand-new EP, ‘Drive Thru’, is out now, marking the start of an exciting trilogy and the launch of their very own label, Brainhole Records. The West London legends are ready to dive back into the music scene with renewed energy and their signature sound that made them icons of the Britpop era.
Formed in 1993, The Bluetones quickly became staples of British rock, scoring thirteen Top 40 singles and three Top 10 albums, all while crafting timeless tracks that continue to resonate with fans today. Now, after years of successful tours and revisiting their classics, they’re set to kick off a thrilling new chapter in their storied career.
“Drive Thru”, the lead single, gives us a glimpse of what’s to come. It’s a raw, powerful anthem about embracing the future and letting go of old expectations. “This song is about abandoning the past and embracing the unknown,” says frontman Mark Morriss. “It’s about not being tied down by other people’s perceptions of you and just going for it. Plus, it rocks.”
With Mark Morriss on vocals, Adam Devlin on guitar, Scott Morriss on bass, and Eds Chesters on drums, The Bluetones’ lineup remains as solid as ever, and their new music crackles with the same spirit that made them a household name. “Drive Thru” is just the beginning—fans can expect more music from the trilogy over the next 6-8 months.
Get ready for a thrilling ride—The Bluetones are back, and they’re better than ever!
Miami, FL Lyricist & Veteran MC Kingdom Kome goes to Colombia to fill his sweet tooth in a new double video and single(s) drop for “Mantecon” and “Arepa Mantecon.” The video (was filmed by Franco Imagemaker and Edited by David Sakolsky of Gusto Gold Productions)was shot on location in Medellin, which is also the home turf of producer The Equation Beats.
This is the first drop from the forthcoming full-length collaboration between the two entitled Arepa Y Manteca. Named for a traditional Colombian delicacy, according to Argentinian born Kingdom Kome “we decided to keep the project real paisa, which means countryman. This includes most of the album collaborators Colombian Raw, AjaxLo & CTraffik.”
Other album guests will include Che Uno, Sunez Allah and ParaNoize and the result is ominous instrumentals and grimy beats clashing with disrespectful lyrics in two languages.
Watch the official video for “Mantecon/Arepa Mantecon” here:
The genesis of this album grew out of a track that The Equation Beats produced for the duo project of Kingdom Kome & Che Uno known as Los Chicos Criollos featuring Crimeapple.

Based on the strength of that song, Kingdom Kome and The Equation Beats kept it moving and lo and behold Arepa Y Manteca is on the way! In addition to the recent full-length drop D10S Sucio of Los Chicos Criollos, Kingdom Kome is also promoting Dirty Linens, a fully collaborative project with Brockton, MA’s G Fam Black.
