The Cases – INDIE-ROCK RISERS SHARE THE NEW SINGLE ‘DON’T LOSE YOUR NERVE’

It’s been a summer to remember for indie-rock risers The Cases. They showcased their enviable potential with the bright melodies and storytelling lyrics of their debut EP ‘My Penny’ before storming festival season, with highlights including headlining the overflowing This Feeling tent at the Isle of Wight, conquering the main stage and Kendal Calling, and sparking scenes at Y NOT?. But that’s only the beginning, as The Cases power on with the new single ‘Don’t Lose Your Nerve’.

It’s easy to see why ‘Don’t Lose Your Nerve’ is already becoming a fan favourite after the band introduced the song at recent live shows. This time The Cases have delivered another cracker: Harry Hornsby’s voice exudes the defiant, empowering message of the song’s lyrics, while its central guitar riff is an instant earworm and the fuzzy, high-intensity solo provides an unexpected surprise. In short, it’s a single which pushes The Cases’ artistic style forwards, without losing sight of why fans loved the ‘My Penny’ EP.

Harry says, “‘Don’t Lose Your Nerve’ is about backing yourself when everyone else is telling you not to. It’s about the pressure of not knowing where you’re going, taking the risk anyway, and trusting yourself even when people around you think you’re making the wrong choice.”

‘Don’t Lose Your Nerve’ was written by the band – completed by Will Bullen (lead guitar), James Maher (bass) and Matt Barron (drums) – and was recorded at Kempston Street Studios, Liverpool, with producer Chris Taylor (Lathums, Blossoms, Courteeneers).

Stay tuned for the track’s video and more new music to come soon.

Still all aged 19-21, The Cases’ roots go back to their school days, where Harry Hornsby and Will Bullen formed a band to enter a talent contest, but they really started progressing when the duo moved onto college. Recruiting fellow student James Maher, they added Matt Barron after seeing him play a Stone Roses cover. Sharing influences which span the past and present of rock ‘n’ roll and indie (The Beatles, Arctic Monkeys, The K’s, to name but a few), they followed their initial releases by building an audience of thousands online via TikTok live sessions. They then stepped out in person, selling out their debut headline tour in 2025 and enjoying the biggest festival season of their career to date this year.

The Cases play an in-store show at Wax and Beans in Bury on Friday, ahead of two festival sets at 110 Above and Wolves Live on Saturday, November will then see them play their biggest headline show to date at Manchester Academy 2, where 85% of tickets have been sold three months in advance.
