Tonbridge band Little Suspicions release first single after forming with The Gallerys bassist

A band formed just a few months ago have released their debut single, having not played a live gig yet due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Formed in Tonbridge, Little Suspicions have hit 8,000 plays of their single, Wasting All My Time, and performed for BBC Kent sessions.

But, due to the government restrictions, the foursome, who play an expansive blend of refined indie-rock, are still waiting for their first live gig.

The band members - Conor Toner (guitar), Joey Lyon (drums) and Craig Barden (formerly of Maidstone band The Gallerys, on bass) live in Kent, while singer Moritz Meyes lives in London.

Joey said: "We consider ourselves a Kent band as this is where we record, rehearse and usually hang out. Joey and Conor work together and they'd always toyed with the idea of turning the demos they had done into a reality but never pursued it.

"In 2020 this changed, we found Moritz on a lonely musicians website and instantly hit it off. We started rehearsing at the start of the year and started searching for a bass player - then we got wind that the Gallerys broke up, and stole Craig straight away."

The group honed their sound remotely over lockdown, and sent it off to be mixed by Ben Etter in the US.

Joey said: "We have been rehearsing the set religiously in anticipation for our debut live show."
