Sons of Martha
Skyrocket

There’s a familiar restlessness about Skyrocket, the new single from London’s Sons of Martha. It plays like a memory that’s still fresh, warm guitar lines, clipped rhythms, and a sense that something’s about to shift. It’s indie rock with a pop undercurrent, not loud about it, but it definitely hits hard.

The band leans into contrast here, movement and stillness, brightness and weight. There’s energy in the track, but it never rushes. It holds back just enough to keep you leaning forward. That tension is what gives Skyrocket its pull. Not urgency, just the quiet momentum of being ready for something.

Lyrically, it sits in that in-between space. Nights that don’t go to plan, thoughts that don’t say themselves out loud. There’s optimism, but it’s tangled with the usual static. “It’s about that magnetic pull toward something new,” says frontman Beach. And it feels that way. Its not a massive leap, more of a shift. A change coming from the edges.

It’s one of those tracks that doesn’t need a big chorus to stick. It hums under the skin. Play it once, and it might stay with you a while.

​Skyrocket is out now, streaming everywhere.
