With an eclectic set of influences from the ‘70s and ‘80s dipping into post-punk, indie-rock and shoegaze alike, World News combines addictive atmospheric guitar riffs with seductive, nonchalant melodies. Moody, punchy, and nostalgic, they’ve drawn comparisons to iconic British bands from The Smiths and The Clash to Dire Straits, wearing the past on their sleeve while remaining perfectly original yet strangely familiar.
2024 saw a continued upward trajectory for the band with the release of two standout EPs, Escape and Mindsnap, their debut appearance in the US at The New Colossus Festival in New York City, and features in Stereogum’s 40 Best New Artists of 2024 and The Fader’s 13 Artists to Watch for 2025. Contributions to 2025 include the singles ‘Don’t Want to Know’ and ‘Everything Is Coming Up Roses’, which set the tone for their 2026 debut LP, alongside a string of summer festival dates and continued sell-out shows across the UK.
“...throwback indie rock of the highest order” –THE FADER
“If you think that jangly, bittersweet indie-pop is a lost art, then you owe it to yourself to check out this London band, who would’ve been stars on ’80s college radio.” –STEREOGUM
“addictively bittersweet post-rock” –PASTE
“World News has the musicianship of a band that's been around for decades…–EARMILK
