Defiance against thee exhaustion from the never-ending pursuit

Coming Up Roses announce the release of the 3rd single from their upcoming debut album ‘How Did We Fall So Far?’, arriving 20th of June via INH Records.

The new single, titled ‘Over Your Head’, sees the band return to the fan-favourite sound of their first 2 EPs, ‘Waters’ (2019) and ‘Everything Is’ (2022). Featuring crunchy, soaring guitar lines and a singalong chorus, ‘Over Your Head’ is a song about the struggles of perfectionism, and focussing so much on being this perfect person that you neglect yourself.

Lead singer-bassist Emily Sera explains: “the song questions what happens, if despite all one’s hard work and effort, you still don’t meet your own impossible expectations and if that would be the end of oneself. That being said, the undertone of it is to show empathy and kindness to those who struggle to be kind to themselves.”

The release of the new single follows a number of notable appearances for the band, including an appearance at Liverpool Sound City and a headline slot at MiCannes Festival in Cannes, France. They will next appear live at the launch show for their debut album, playing at Strongroom Bar in Shoreditch London alongside Breakup Haircut and Gabi Garbutt.

‘Over Your Head’ is available to stream and download now on all major listening platforms. Coming Up Roses’ debut album, ‘How Did We Fall So Far?’ arrives on June 20th 2025 on streaming, CD and vinyl.


Artist bio:
Influenced by the likes of Wolf Alice, The Joy Formidable and Paramore, along with the vocal production of Ethel Cain and the guitar sound of Deafheaven and DIIV, Coming Up Roses also take inspiration from the vibrant sounds of the burgeoning South East Asian indie scene, blending all this with other British influences.

Directly confronting the uncomfortable to find solace, the multiculturally informed songs presented by the group detail universal themes such as loss, struggles with mental health and personal aspirations. With a sound that is distinctly familiar yet with an appealingly elusive quality that also recalls the likes of The Sundays, Lush and The Cranberries, they have released three EPs to date: ‘Waters’ (2019), ‘Everything Is’ (2021), and ‘Coming Up Roses’ (2024). Their long-awaited debut album will be released via INH Records in late June 2025.
