Pale Waves Talk Robbie Williams and Bad New Year's Eve Parties

EXCLUSIVE! The Manchester-bred group let us into their heads in their MTV Brand New For 2018 spotlight interview...

Entering the Brand New For 2018 spotlight today is Pale Waves, the rising indie stars dominating with their dreamy brand of synth-rock and heart-on-your-sleeve confessionals.

Heather,Ciara,Hugo and Charlie open up about the drama behind 'New Year's Eve', their childhood inspirations and - what everyone's really wanting to know - when their debutalbum is coming.

'Watch our exclusive Brand New For 2018 interview with Pale Waves here:'

Pale Waves may be known for their glam-rock aesthetic and indie-pop sound buttheir collective influences might surprise you, rangingfrom Motown to Bob Dylan to the one and only Robbie Williams.

While we're not sure Robbie's influence has come into the music (yet), we're sure the ex-party boy can relate to'New Year's Eve', the epically relatable tune about a night that didn't end too well.

Lead singer Heather told us the song is about "anight I had that was quite dramatic.There’s so much build up to that one night that it just ends up being a bad night."

"Maybe I should stay in this New Year’s Eve." Or maybe everyone with NYE trauma can come together for a massive Pale Waves gig?

The band are touring the UK and Ireland over the next two months before returning to the US for their own headline tour across the pond, so perhaps a UK reunion would be nice at the end of the year.

What else does 2018 have in store for Pale Waves? Wellwe already know their debut EP'All The Things I Never Said'is coming on March 16th but theyteased usthat the album'might'follow up later this year.

In Heather's own words,"It's going to be an exciting year."
