Stockport’s alt-rock quartet, The Rolling People, have made a bold statement with their latest release, Before It’s Gone, now out via LAB Records. Building on the success of their previous singles, including the soaring “I’ll Be There” and fan-favorite “Better Man,” this new EP captures the band’s dynamic energy, emotional depth, and their relentless pursuit of greatness. Described by The Pentatonic as “an EP that solidifies their place in the UK rock scene,” Before It’s Gone is a testament to their growth and an exciting preview of what’s yet to come.
A Powerful Blend of Energy and Introspection
With each new release, The Rolling People prove their ability to balance raw, explosive energy with reflective, emotional songwriting. Before It’s Gone delivers on both fronts, showcasing stormy guitar riffs and the commanding vocals of frontman Charlie McNichol. His voice, filled with passion and urgency, cuts through each track, making it clear that this is a band with something important to say.
The EP’s title track sets the tone, brimming with introspection and a sense of urgency. “We wanted to create something that captured the feeling of time slipping away, the idea that you have to seize every moment before it’s gone,” says McNichol. “This EP is about embracing that urgency and channeling it into our music. It’s our way of saying we’re here to make the most of everything we’ve got.”
That energy flows through the rest of the EP, with each song contributing to the overarching themes of ambition, fleeting opportunities, and the drive to chase your dreams. It’s a collection that not only resonates emotionally but also reflects the band’s evolution and growing confidence as artists.
