Hailing from Southend-On-Sea, Essex, Rounds is composed of Robert Cooper (vocals, synths), Ashley Kemp (drums, samplers), Andrew Chapman (guitars, synths), and Andrew McGarrigle (bass). Their latest single, The Witness, draws inspiration from iconic bands like The National, Manic Street Preachers, and The Cure. The track delves into the concept of an unfeeling observer who controls humanity, responsible for both suffering and beauty in the world. It draws parallels between this observer and the cold, unrelenting forces of nature, exploring humanity’s capacity for both violence and love. Accompanied by an excellent video directed by Robert Cooper, this mesmerizing brit rock gem, with its powerful vocals, profound lyrics, and anthemic crescendo, hits you like a hurricane. It’s a song that moves you, encourages reflection, and invites you to delve into its lyrics—a pure and honest musical experience.
