Hypersonic Missiles

Sam Fender

Shimmering guitars and soaring saxophone meet gritty tales of North Shields life. A debut that brings Springsteen's heartland energy to the modern British coast.

An urgent blend of social frustration and anthemic hope, wrapped in shimmering guitars.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive entry of the saxophone on the title track that transforms a protest song into a stadium anthem.
The propulsive, driving drum beat of Will We Talk? that captures the frantic energy of a one-night stand.
The cinematic, slow-burn storytelling of The Borders where the guitars swell into a wall of nostalgic noise.
