Heir release infectious indie pop with, ‘As Long As I Can't See You’.

With a heavy 80s groove-pop influence, Heir have mastered the art of harmony driven storytelling and classic-pop. Originating from five different corners of the UK the quintet met at university, quickly bonding over a passion for honest and irresistible pop music. Songwriters Tom Hammond (lead vocals/guitar), Ste Fisher (lead guitar/vocals) and Sam Luca (keys/vocals) cite artists such as Prince, Paul Simon and Billy Joel as early influences - a musical backdrop that fuels the trio’s search for the bittersweet-spot in every story. Alongside Harry Vernon (bass) and Samuel Newham (drums) the music becomes kaleidoscopic as groove, rhythm and musical hooks pop out of every orifice. With a resurgence of interest in heavily 80s inspired pop, possibly due to classics being rediscovered by a new generation on tiktok, this seems the perfect time for a new host of bands to firmly stamp their print on this joyful sound - and Heir are one of them.
