Glasgow band The Kaves have gone from strength to strength and are ready to release the lead single ‘Complacency’ from their upcoming debut EP. After being approached by Al Groves (Bring me the Horizon, STONE, The Sherlocks), The Kaves recorded the track at Liverpool’s famous Motor Museum.
The Glaswegians deliver an alternative anthem full of attack whilst also maintaining an ability to create memorable melodies which combine with guitar riffs in a chaotically beautiful way. The Kaves will be heading on the road, showcasing their debut EP in the autumn with shows in Manchester, London, Glasgow and Edinburgh set to be announced alongside the EP.
Lead singer Dave MacDiarmid has said of the single: “Complacency is about realising that the important things in life need to be nourished and worked on. Resting or being overly comfortable in situations without gratitude can often lead to regret later down the line. Complacency is a reminder that if you rest on your laurels you might look back and wish you’d cherished those moments more to keep them from withering away.”

The Kaves are the 4 piece alternative indie/rock band hailing from Glasgow in Scotland consisting of Dave MacDiarmid on guitar and lead vocals, brothers Liam Prior on lead guitar and Sean Prior on bass guitar, and 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’ in October 2022 and which received high end radio play from the likes of Sirius XM in America as well as plays all over the world in Australia and Canada and South Africa.
The Kaves, although only relatively still in their infancy as a band, have made impressive inroads with their single releases to date, showcasing them in headline gigs in and around Scotland. The single ‘Premonitions’ was launched by the band at their headline show with new music taste makers This Feeling at their Glasgow Broadcast gig and was also performed by the band during the Man City vs Liverpool footballmatch.
The band have also received critical acclaim from the music press such as:
RGM – “an outstanding effort can’t wait for more to come”.
When The Horn Blows – “They’ve relit the flame of that classic indie rock sound.”
Our Sound Music – “They bring energy in opulence and maintain complacency in scruples. We are impressed by this band… Just imagine what they’ll achieve in years ahead.”
Spruced Up Reviews – “Glasgow’s musical chops have never been in question, there’s no denying there’s something in the water up there… and it looks like they’re at it again with The Kaves.”
The brand new single from The Kaves ‘1000 White Lies’ is a beautiful melodic offering with its slow and measured strumming guitar intro. It immediately gives the listener a sense of the track having been deliberately stripped back to allow the wistful lyricism with their contrasting gravelly vocals to come into full effect. The chorus hook of “Tell me a 1000 white lies and I’ll be satisfied…. Tell me a 1000 more truths and I’ll run away from you” tells a story. There’s a sense of knowing, of foreboding but begging not to be told the inevitable truth. The track then takes a turn as it builds and bubbles into a crescendo for the final act, the pace picking up in a certain defiance before a final mic drop sudden fade out moment, signalling ‘The END’ – epic stuff indeed!
The band have said of the new single:
“‘1000 White Lies’ was written around this time last year. It’s our first real stripped back acoustic tune. Having played it live at the likes of King Tuts and Nice n Sleazy, it got a real positive reaction live, so we decided it was time to release it as a single!
Essentially the track is about having a hard time facing the reality of certain parts of life. Whether that be in relationships, your passions, goals or growing up. Not having the ability to embrace the truth as it can be tough to accept so believing all the “White Lies” is sometimes easier to deal with.”
The band have several live gigs lined up in the coming months which are yet to be officially announced and fans are therefore advised to keep an eye on the band’s socials listed below for updates.

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.
