Isle of Wight rockers 5 Degrees North are back with a bang, unleashing their fiery new single 'Burn' upon the world. This track sees the trio exploring a darker, heavier soundscape than their previous work, showcasing a band evolving and maturing in their sound. Think Royal Blood meets The Amazons with a splash of Lenny Kravitz and a hint of Muse – it's a potent mix that's sure to get your blood pumping.

'Burn' is an absolute scorcher of a track, packed with driving guitar riffs, funky basslines, and explosive percussion that'll have you hooked from the first beat. The band have clearly tapped into a powerful energy here, delivering a sound that's both raw and refined. As they explain, “‘Burn’ is like a musical explosion. The sharp guitar riffs drive the music forward, supported by a bassline that grooves with confidence. The drumming is tight and explosive, making it hard to ignore."

But it's not just about the sonic assault. 'Burn' also packs an emotional punch, with vocals that soar above the driving instrumentals. The lyrics explore themes of self-reflection and growth, leaving the past behind and striving for something better. The band themselves describe the song as being "about becoming a better person and leaving past mistakes behind." It's a message that resonates with a raw honesty, making 'Burn' more than just a headbanger – it's an anthem for anyone looking to break free and forge their own path.

Formed in 2021 while still at school, 5 Degrees North – Will Morrison (vocals, guitar), Michael Fuller (bass), and Louis "Linguini" Marshall (drums) – have been steadily building a reputation for their dynamic live shows and infectious blend of rock, funk, and alternative influences. With 'Burn', they've taken a bold step forward, demonstrating a newfound maturity and confidence in their songwriting. Recorded at Empire Sound on their home turf of the Isle of Wight and once again collaborating with producer Dan Ashdown, 'Burn' captures the band's raw energy and passion, delivering a sound that's both familiar and exhilaratingly fresh.

If 'Burn' is anything to go by, 5 Degrees North are a band on the verge of something big. This is a track that demands to be played loud, so crank it up and let it ignite your own inner fire.
