Released digitally on 23 May 2025, the EP features three polished tracks, each bursting with crafted youthful energy and vivid nods to classic rock influences—think Nirvana and Arctic Monkeys.

The singles “The Town,” “Two Sips,” and “Lost” have already made an impact:

  • “The Town” celebrates local pride with pulsing guitar and sing‑along choruses—the RGM review hails it as “a triumphant reach of full‑drive indie power... encompassing hometown pride”

  • “Two Sips” adds a dreamy layer—sparkling riffs and vocal harmonies make it one to sink into late-night reflection.

  • “Lost” trades in youthful yearning and catchiness, described by RGM as “a sure‑fire crowd pleaser… intensely capturing our attention”

Critics note how Modern Nostalgia successfully blends youthful exuberance with homage to rock traditions, making for a “compelling blend of past and present”.

Modern Nostalgia is refreshingly cohesive—three tracks that serve up fun, emotion, and ambition in equal measure. Revivalry sound confident and ready to lead a revival of gritty British indie-rock.
