Recent News: Released her new EP Bittersweet on April 10.
A trailblazer in the modern alt-rock world, U.K. rockstar Tally Spear defines herself through deeply heartfelt songwriting and catchy pop punk riffs. With the release of her sophomore EP Bittersweet on April 10 through Nettwerk Music Group, Spear continues to build upon her signature pop rock artistry, blending nostalgic alt-rock hooks with powerful vocals.
Introduced through singles like “August 31st” and “Upside Down,” Bittersweet is a thrilling and emotive body of work. The name alone represents the EP’s flawless dichotomy, as the album maintains a steady balance of vulnerability and confidence throughout. It is this level of intention and musical ambition that Spear has made herself known for, spending the last several years making a name for herself as one of alternative rock’s most exciting up-and-comers.
On her latest musical effort, Spear takes her musical maturity and profound songwriting to new heights, as Bittersweet chronicles a pivotal era of Spear’s life following the passing of her father. Across five tracks, Spear’s explores the grief that rose in the aftermath, as well as the strength that it took to self-reflect and move forward. The final result is a record that is not only extremely relatable, but strikes a chord for anybody who listens. Through her unapologetic explorations of love, loss, and mental health, Spear’s Bittersweet is a heartfelt and authentic sonic journey.
Ever since making her official musical debut in 2020 with the release of her single “What Do I Want,” Spear’s artistry has been fueled by a vast array of influences. Pulling inspiration from everyone from Bob Dylan and The Beatles to Avril Lavigne and Cassyette, Spears pulls from both the pop and rock worlds to create a sound that is honest, defiant, and undeniably hers. Over the years, fan favorite singles like “Self Confessions” and “Sliding Doors” have earned her a devoted fanbase, and working with the likes of South Arcade and Wargasm has cemented her as a fiery rising star in the industry. While Bittersweet serves as a defining album from the alt-rockstar, Spear shows no signs of easing up on the brakes any time soon, making her an act that every avid rock music fan should have on their radar.
