THE WHENEVERS:

The Whenevers is an Essex based Indie Rock / Britpop band founded by Harry (singer / songwriter and guitarist). Although at the moment The Whenevers is a concept band…it is a project with every intention of finding other members who fit the vibe. If you are a fan of Oasis, Blur or The Libertines and live for melodic and catchy tunes with that raw and authentic sound of guitars you heard in the 90s and early 2000s, than The Whenevers is a band you absolutely want to get on board with.

Harry started his journey in the industry at the age of 16 when he started teaching himself the guitar. What started out a hobby to pass time and quiet a restless mind very quickly turned into an obsession: chasing melodies, sharpening hooks and dreaming of being in a band - despite being worried about sharing his music with the world. In Late 2023, Harry plucked up the courage to share a couple of his tracks with his parents - including ‘Have You Learnt Yet’ and ‘Tell Me The Score’, both of which are featured on his recently released debut EP. Early 2024, he started posting ads online for band members - but had a hard time finding the right ones. This didn’t stop him though…he kept writing and dreaming…and eventually started posting clips of him singing acoustic versions of his tracks on TikTok and Instagram. Come 2025, he had been into the studio a few times and had recorded a total of 12 songs. Progress was being made, but it was slow, and his dream of being in a teenage band had faded, but he reluctantly released ‘Going Home’ in May 2025, and than later on ‘Basic’ and ‘Have You Learnt Yet’. Fast forward to present day, aged 21, Harry is still searching for the right band members and released his debut EP ‘Where's The Fuss?’.

Harry is only just at the start of his journey in the music industry. Although currently he only has one live gig under his belt thus fur, other experiences has shaped the artist he is today. Harry went on a 4 day songwriting retreat at the Albion Rooms in Margate where he got to meet the icon Carl Barat from The Libertines and was able to share one of songs with him…the verdict…’fucking brilliant’. Harry said that hearing that from one of your icons is something unforgettable.

Although he feels that everything about his personality completely goes against everything he is trying to achieve…Harry’s place in the industry is built on the tracks he writes and the opportunities he takes. Historically speaking musicians are expected to be loud and outgoing individuals who enjoy a good drink and get up to some rather questionable shenanigans. Recently though, the industry has had an influx of artists who don’t fit that stereotype and are rewriting that historical prejudice…Harry being one of them! His experiences between the ages of 16-18 are what shaped him the most. He vividly remembers the feeling of despair and hopelessness, knowing those years were precious and he wasn’t fulfilling them in the same way as others…where he observed from the sidelines…which has today shaped the way he writes, giving him material to write about.

Over the next few years, Harry aspires for the project to become a somewhat successful indie band, finding the right individuals to recruit, and playing live on a number of occasions.

If you want to support Harry and The Whenevers and watch the journey of finding their place in the music industry…the best way to show your support right now is by streaming the debut EP ‘Where’s The Fuss?’ and spreading the word with anyone and everyone who will listen, and even by sharing it out on social platforms! This is a project I will personally be supporting…and not just through the blog. After listening to the EP, I felt a sense of validation as I have had similar shared feelings and experiences that are portrayed through the lyrics and the music and I feel like a lot of people will be able to connect with it. I cannot wait to see what comes of this project and I truly belive that it will become something amazing and sensational and I hope to support it all the way…both professionally and personally :)
