This Summit Fever Drops Hypnotic New Single “Currents” – Premiering Now at Everything Is Noise

UK fuzz rock duo This Summit Fever has just unveiled a music video for “Currents,” the latest single from their upcoming self-titled debut album, set to be released on April 4, 2025, via Majestic Mountain Records.

The video premiered at Everything Is Noise, who had this to say about the track: “The build over the track’s four minutes is gradual, the chorus being the punchy core until the end of the song where you’re practically waterboarded by the riff. And I can’t forget the guitar lead in the middle that drives it all to that harrowing point. I’m reminded of the famous Bruce Lee quote on water and its many forms, or rather lack of form.”

The band commented: ‘“Currents” is 2nd lead track from the forthcoming This Summit Fever self titled debut album and it is a heavy weight. Opening with a slow, thundering, low tuned riff, Jim McSorley half times the drum beat demanding the listener to nod their head. This is the type of music that moves you, both metaphorically and physically. The lyrical subject matter of “Currents” is about accidentally falling into fast flowing water and disaster. Stand out lines in the pre-chorus ‘And the current, cradled me, And the river laid me down‘ lead the listener back to the main half time heavy riff.‘

Originally formed as a lockdown project by guitarist/vocalist Andy Blackburn, This Summit Fever quickly evolved when drummer Jim McSorley joined forces. What started as home-recorded demos quickly became a full-fledged, high-impact fuzz rock machine, fueled by a love for massive riffs and driving rhythms.

BBC Introducing picked up their early demos, and soon, This Summit Fever was a live force to be reckoned with, hitting Bloodstock, Stoomfest, and Desertfest, and sharing stages with Raging Speedhorn and Margarita Witch Cult. Their two EPs—2021’s “Doubt” and 2023’s “Distraction Rituals”—laid the groundwork for their first full-length album, showcasing their raw, relentless energy.
