UK female-fronted grunge/alternative rock band Low Wave to release new single »Poison Pear« on September 26th!

Exeter, UK based female-fronted grunge/alternative rock band Low Wave has announced their new single, »Poison Pear«, which will be released on September 26th, 2025.

Low Wave were formed in Exeter, UK, in 2023 by guitarist and songwriter Graham Waddell, joined by Ella Partridge (drums), Colin Penn (bass), and Leanne Pharaoh (vocals). The group brings together an eclectic range of influences unified through a love of powerful rhythms and a collective melodic sensibility for song-writing that is both reflective and anthemic.

The quartet picks up on a thread left hanging by the Seattle grunge pioneers and carried forward by the alternative desert rock scene to deliver a unique soundscape blending riff-based rock with a modern voice. Their debut EP »State Of Mine« was released to acclaim in 2024 attracting listeners around the world. Stepping out from a subsequent period of change in membership within the band, 2025 will see the release of their next single »Poison Pear« with a new vocalist and a bold evolution of artistic style ahead of the scheduled release of the groups debut album in early 2026.

New single »Poison Pear« will be released 26/9/25 at 00:00 GMT across all streaming platforms.

Purveyors of epic riffs and grunge-inspired alt rock, Low Wave’s latest single takes a bold turn with »Poison Pear«, a female-led anthem that showcases a new vulnerability. Exploring themes of doubt, belief, and the quiet fight to find something bigger, the song builds with an emotional resonance matched by the groups musical strength marking the evolution into a new chapter. It’s still raw. Still Low Wave. But exhilaratingly new.
