Only The Poets
Anthemic indie-pop with soaring vocals and stadium-sized hooks. Polished, earnest, and built for communal singalongs during a long summer drive.

Only The Poets are a Reading-based indie-pop quartet that has rapidly ascended through the UK and European live circuits since their formation in 2017. Led by vocalist and primary songwriter Tommy Longhurst, the band's sound identity is defined by a fusion of 90s Britpop melodicism and 2020s polished alt-pop production.
Their career arc is notable for a grassroots 'fan-first' strategy, building a massive following through relentless touring and supporting major acts like Louis Tomlinson, which has cemented their position within the modern 'boy-band-adjacent' indie scene. Critically, they are recognized for their ability to write high-utility anthems that resonate with Gen Z and Millennial audiences, often touching on themes of mental health, heartbreak, and resilience. Their influence web connects the guitar-driven energy of The Lathums with the pop-sensibility of artists like Picture This. While they remain independent in spirit, their production quality rivals major-label output, characterized by clean vocal stacking and shimmering guitar layers designed for radio and arena play.
