Finding Their Voice: A Blend of Melody, Emotion, and Punk Spirit
Twilight Stunt Work wasted no time in making their mark. Their debut single “Paradise” introduced listeners to their signature style: catchy hooks, high-energy instrumentation, and lyrical vulnerability. The track hit hard and fast, capturing the attention of pop-punk fans craving something fresh but familiar.
Twilight Stunt Work, the explosive pop-punk duo from the North Wales coast, is proof that great music can rise from unexpected pauses. Made up of Chris James (bass/vocals) and Leam Jones (guitar/vocals), the band originally played in a Blink-182 tribute band. But when the pandemic silenced live music venues and forced the world indoors, something else came alive—their own sound.
During lockdown, the pair began crafting original music. What started as a creative experiment turned into a sonic evolution that would soon resonate far beyond the local scene.
New Single “Lana”: Loud, Lyrical, and Limitless
Their latest release, “Lana”, is arguably their boldest yet. Brimming with angsty vocals, punk attitude, and dynamic guitar riffs, the track captures the energy of youthful rebellion. It's loud. It's emotional. It's real.
“Lana” channels the spirit of early 2000s punk anthems, but with a sharp modern edge. Think pier-side skate parks, summer heartbreak, and the rush of falling in and out of love—all in under three minutes. With its polished production and tight performance, it’s a track that begs for repeat listens.
Then came “You & I”, a heartfelt anthem that explored the resilience of love. With soaring vocals, rhythmic bass, and powerful guitar work, it cemented the band’s place in the next wave of punk storytellers. The duo’s talent lies in merging raw emotion with addictive soundscapes—a skill mastered by icons like A Day to Remember and Blink-182, who remain their creative north stars.
“We wanted to write something that feels personal but still gets you moving,” says Chris James. “‘You & I’ is about sticking together through the chaos.”
From North Wales to the World
Twilight Stunt Work might have started on the coast of North Wales, but their music carries universal appeal. With the emotional punch of punk rock’s golden era and the production quality of today’s top acts, they're making a serious case for becoming one of the UK’s most exciting new punk bands.
As punk continues to evolve, Twilight Stunt Work is helping steer the ship—loud, proud, and unfiltered.
