No Drinks On The Dancefloor are proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the UK's indie rock scene. Hailing from Southend, this four-piece outfit, consisting of Jack Griffiths (bass), Jack Solder (lead guitar and vocals), Dan Gilbert (drums), and Sam Ikin (keys), have been steadily building a reputation for their explosive live shows and high-octane sound.
Following a string of well-received singles, the band's latest offering, ‘Class A’, arrives with all the swagger and raw energy we’ve come to expect from the band, but with an added layer of emotional depth. Adding substances to their undeniable style, ‘Class A’ is a powerful illustration of the band’s style, turning personal turmoil into a cathartic anthem.
The track is a visceral exploration of the messy reality that comes with being drawn to something – or someone – you know is bad for you. It’s a track that draws a poignant comparison between toxic love and addiction. Driven by sharp, infectious riffs and a powerful rhythm section, ‘Class A’ showcases Jack’s soaring vocals, which capture the raw vulnerability of giving in to chaos. It’s a track that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable, a soundtrack for anyone who's ever followed their heart despite all the warning signs.
The band first made their mark on the music scene with debut single, ‘Devil Eyes’, in 2023, quickly establishing a sound that pulls from the British indie lineage of bands like Arctic Monkeys and Nothing But Thieves, while packing the hard-hitting punch of Foo Fighters. They've since become a regular on local radio, with tracks like ‘Dreams and Fantasies’ and ‘Egotistic Attitude’ gaining thousands of streams. It’s their fiery live presence, however, that truly sets them apart.
With an impressive catalogue and a growing legion of fans, No Drinks On The Dancefloor are not just part of the new wave of indie rock; they’re helping to define it. You can stream the new single above, and for more, be sure to join the band on Instagram and TikTok.
