Vistas are a Scottish trio, featuring Prentice Robertson (vocals) , Dylan Rush (guitar) and Jamie Law (bass). Sharing a love for acts like The Strokes and Two Door Cinema Club, they decided to form a band of their own. Soon, they played sold-out tours and supported artists like The Wombats, Circa Waves and The Kooks.

Last year, they released their debut album Everything Changes In The End. Their empty agenda left them enough time to write new material. Unfortunately, Robertson suffered from a writer’s block. He decided to write a song about the situation, which has now been released as the band’s first material of 2021.

The singer explains: “Start Again was one of the first songs I wrote after I took a bit of time off from writing. It is essentially a song about having writer’s block and the feelings that come along with worrying where your next idea is going to come from. I think getting this song down really helped to unstick any writer’s block I was having. It oiled the wheels of everything that would follow on from this track.”

It doesn’t take much imagination to hear a post-lockdown anthem in the song. Fresh and energetic, it’s an uplifting slice of indie-pop/rock.

These must be extra-frustrating times for Scotland based Vistas. They just released their debut album, full of perfect indie summer anthems, but have nowhere to play them.

Vocalist Prentice Robertson, guitarist Dylan Rush and bassist Jamie Law formed the band at school and developed a tight bond while fawning over records from The Strokes, Two Door Cinema Club and more. They’ve made their name by gigging tirelessly across the UK. Sold-out tours and support slots alongside the likes of The Wombats, Circa Waves and The Kooks. Their live shows generated plenty of word of mouth and, ultimately, a loyal fan base. The singles the band released since 2016 racked up over 40 million plays on Spotify alone.

Finally, they released their debut album Everything Changes In The End. The title track is the trio’s new single. They have this to say about it: “It’s just about being there for your friends and realising that stuff might not be great at the moment, but hopefully in time will work itself out. Essentially it’s the message that we wanted to put throughout the whole record, so that’s why it’s the opening and title-track.”
