GEORGE HENNESSEY – Takes trip down “Memory Lane”

Nodding to the unabashed, audience-unifying pop/rock masterclasses of the 90s, “Memory Lane” is both compulsively anthemic and artfully nostalgic. Seemingly custom-made to be bellowed out by teeming crowds in the packed spaces, the song in fact dates back to those solitary days of the second lockdown.

A song about hedonistic escapism and hope for the future, George explains of the track:

A rock’n’roll singer-songwriter born and bred in London, George Hennessey has been turning heads for some time now with songs that often marry the earth-splitting sounds of Grunge with the melodic merits of Brit-Pop. But on his upcoming debut, ‘If You Can’t Find What You’re Looking For Please Ask’ (out 3 February, via Massive 92 records), the Twickenham talent will be stepping up his game in 2023 with a body of work that proves he’s primed and ready for the big time.

Channelling the Britpop songwriting talents of Paul Weller or Noel Gallagher, through twists of psychedelia, folk and rock; Hennessey serves up nine coming-of-age tales about breaking-up, bouncing back, and believing in yourself. From musings on tripping-up in relationships to confessions of tripping-out in lockdown, ‘If You Can’t Find…’ infuses relatable songs with a renegade spirit and a warmth of character that will keep you coming back for more. Co-produced and mastered by the esteemed Flemming Rasmussen (Metallica, Ringo Starr, Mew) and mixed by James Kenosha (Dry The River, Pulled Apart By Horses, Pastel), this is a debut to make a noise about.

Available on vinyl & digitally from 3 February 2023, the album will feature the likes of “All Or Nothing”, “Go With The Flow”, “Lost Society”, plus the aforementioned singles “Prisoner” and “Memory Lane”.
