Off the back of a thunderous 2025, featuring airplay on Radio X (John Kennedy), BBC Introducing in the West, and Amazing Radio alongside a sold-out debut headline show at the Louisiana (Bristol, UK), The Tamers are set for an even bigger 2026.
The band have a run of nationwide gigs and festival appearances lined up culminating in a large headline show late in the year.
This will be complemented by a steady stream of releases throughout 2026, before they return to the studio in September to record their forthcoming EP.
Hailing from Wiltshire, UK, The Tamers were formed by lead singer Jacob Harley and guitarist Matt Clark who spent 2023 – 2024 crafting the band’s foundations.
Inspired by Nothing but Thieves, Queens of the Stone Age, Dead Poets Society and Led Zeppelin. Joined by Ozzie Graham on drums and Martin Blunt on bass, they deliver a fresh yet familiar energy to the Alt-Rock scene.
About the song:
The band were reflecting on the political turmoil of today, the track is sung from the power-hungry elite’s perspective, they wanted the track to reflect the elite’s egos both lyrically and through the instrumentation too.

Saturday 20th June – The Waiting Room London, UK (supporting Glossy Boy)
Friday 3rd July – The Sunflower Lounge, Birmingham (supporting Desert Plaza)
Sunday 5th July – Minety Festival, Minety, Wiltshire- Headlining 2nd Stage
