Charging into 2026 with explosive energy and zero intention of slowing down, UK indie-rock outfit Breeze return with ‘Superheroes’, a euphoric new anthem built to shake venues and stir hearts. Hot on the heels of their October single ‘Song For A Sign’, the trio continue to flex their growing influence, earning buzz from the likes of Radio X, Backseat Mafia, and Mystic Sons, while lighting up festival stages alongside Kasabian, Royal Blood, and James.
Made up of brothers Albert, Harry, and Alfred Anderson, Breeze have spent the last few years carving a distinct lane for themselves where 90s indie nostalgia collides with forward-facing production and big-stage ambition. ‘Superheroes’ captures that essence in full force: all riotous guitars, punchy melodies, and anthemic choruses built for crowd-wide singalongs.
With recent collaborations with Richard McNamara (Embrace) and a victorious tour of France under their belt, Breeze are more than ready for liftoff. We caught up with the band to talk influences, studio sessions, and why ‘Superheroes’ is just the beginning of their next chapter.

Can you tell us a bit about your background and how you got started in music?
We’re three brothers — Albert, Harry, and Alfred — and we grew up just outside the city of Hull. Music’s always been part of our lives thanks to our dad, who sang and played guitar in a band. When we were younger we’d sing along with him at home, and that’s where it all began. Around the age of 16 we decided to properly form a band, starting out playing covers — everything from indie rock to The Beatles. After a couple of years of doing that, we began writing and performing our own original music, with Albert on guitar & vocals, Harry on bass, and Alfred on drums, and Harry and Alfred also providing backing harmonies.
Who are your biggest musical influences and how have they shaped your sound?
The Beatles, Oasis, Kasabian, Feeder
Was there a specific moment or experience that made you decide to pursue music seriously?
For Albert, the turning point was watching the Supersonic documentary about Oasis on Netflix. Seeing their story and attitude towards music really lit a fire and made him want to take it seriously and start writing songs. That mindset quickly spread through the band and pushed us to focus on creating our own music.
Can you walk us through your typical songwriting process?
From Albert: Most songs start with me alone on an acoustic guitar, just messing around until something clicks. Once I land on a set of chords—whether it feels like a verse or a chorus—I let a melody come naturally, usually through humming or throwing out random words until it feels right. From there, I start shaping it into something that tells a story and actually means something. Every song has its own life, though—some practically write themselves and are finished in ten minutes, while others I’ll sit with for months, tweaking chords or melodies until they feel exactly right. I don’t rush it; I wait until the song tells me it’s done.
How do you find inspiration for your music and lyrics?
Emotions on how I’m feeling at the time and what’s happening in my life and this is what steers the track in the direction it ends up being.
What themes or messages do you hope listeners take away from your music?
We don’t set out with a specific theme or message in mind. We let the music be what it needs to be. If our songs connect with people in any way—whether it brings them happiness, gives them hope, or sparks some kind of inspiration—that means everything to us. As long as someone takes something real from our music, then we’ve done our job.
What challenges have you faced as an emerging artist in the music industry?
Like most emerging artists, the biggest challenge has been getting heard and taken seriously in such a crowded industry.
What has been the most rewarding aspect of your musical journey so far?
One of the most rewarding moments so far was supporting James Arthur just two months after starting out as a band. It was a sold-out show of around 4,000 people, and for a moment it genuinely felt like Beatlemania — as soon as we finished our set, we were completely swarmed by people. It gave us a real taste of what becoming famous might feel like, and we absolutely loved it.
How do you stay true to yourself and your artistry in a constantly evolving industry?
As long as the songs are put together properly — catchy, professionally recorded and mastered, and managed the right way with solid promotion — we trust what we’re doing. There are still loads of people out there who’ll connect with our music; it’s just about timing and the right moment. You have to adapt to how things work now, but without losing who you are.
What can fans expect from you in the near future? Any upcoming projects or tours?
Let’s just say there’s a lot of music on the way and some big things coming. We don’t want to give too much away just yet, but fans can definitely expect some exciting projects and shows in the near future.
Where do you see yourself and your music career in the next five years?
Ultimately, we’re aiming for the very top — worldwide recognition, selling millions of records, and selling out stadiums etc. Whether that happens in five years or even sooner, that’s obviously the dream, and the earlier the better. Realistically, in five years we see ourselves at least having made a serious name for ourselves — at a level where the music is sustaining us and we don’t need to work. We’re fully committed to doing whatever it takes to get there. We don’t really believe in putting doubts on it; if you’re already questioning whether it’ll happen, you might as well quit.
