The Kaves are the 4 piece alternative indie/rock band hailing from Glasgow in Scotland consisting of brothers Liam Prior on lead guitar and Sean Prior on bass guitar, Dave MacDiarmid on guitar and lead vocals, Evan Hunter on Drums.

The Kaves who formed in late 2019 released their debut single ‘Migraines’ in September 2021 followed by a run of shows in their native Scotland before releasing their second single ‘What’s In Your Head?’ in March 2022. After a sold out headline show at Glasgow’s infamous venue, Nice ‘n’ Sleazys in the spring, The Kaves headed back into the studio to record their hat trick single of  ‘Premonitions’ which is out now.

The brand new single from The Kaves ‘Premonitions’ starts off with a slow almost melancholy strumming of a guitar leading you into a false sense of security as out of nowhere, in come the pounding drums and sonic guitar riffs. The vocals are crisp and decisive being delivered with a certain degree of passion. The chorus hook of “Might have mentioned that I hate you, Might have said I don’t care, Well this feels like a beautiful Sunday. For the premonitions in my bed.” will have you chanting along in unison. Then at around the 2 minutes in mark things are taken up another notch as marching drums kick in and a chanting mantra becomes evident in the bridge and the lyrics are spat at you with evident power and meaning “I’ve been staying out of sight, Trying to get out my mind, Trying to find a little peace, From all these thoughts controlling me, Rain Clouds covering all that I can see, I feel like I’m going in circles, While I’m here all make a change, Take control take the reigns, I won’t let them go again, Take me to the promised land, Rain Clouds covering all that I can see, I feel like I’m going in circles.” couple this with the pounding drums and electrifying guitar solos and well, wow it’ll blow you away!

The band have said of the new single:

“‘Premonitions’ is a  song about feeling trapped in dissatisfaction. The feeling of constantly obsessing over the next thing ready to trip you up instead of just living for the moment. And how worrying about the future can be tough on those around you in the present. The bridge is about trying to get enough resolve to get out of that cycle which is a good way to end the song.”

‘Premonitions’ was launched by the band at their headline show with new music taste makers This Feeling at their headline gig at Glasgow Broadcast and was also performed by the band during the Man City vs Liverpool match.
