Only The Poets

Between indie pop and alternative rock, Only The Poets has been developing since the mid‑2010s a direct songwriting approach from Reading, England. Led by Tommy Longhurst’s voice within a guitar, bass and drums quartet, Only The Poets first made their mark on the local scene with tracks released online and a string of small‑venue gigs, before gradually expanding nationally and then across Europe. Their music blends melodic guitars, catchy choruses and light electronic touches, with lyrics focused on prolonged adolescence, romantic relationships and mental health. The band follows the continuity of early‑2000s British indie while adopting structures close to contemporary pop, allowing them to alternate intimate formats and more anthemic numbers on stage. Through headline tours and support slots with pop and indie artists, Only The Poets hone a live‑oriented repertoire that is regularly replenished with new singles.
