In their short history, overpass have inspired an ever-growing fanbase with songs pulsating with youthful exuberance and the vulnerabilities of young adulthood. Their shows have been just as life-affirming, providing a dopamine burst of wall-to-wall singalongs and an all-in-this-together communion. As they approach the release of their debut album, ‘Elsewhere, Always’, overpass are primed to fulfill their skyscraping potential as their grassroots grittiness is scaled upwards into arena-reaching ambition.
For a record made with such confidence and conviction, the dichotomy of ‘Elsewhere, Always’ is that it is born from uncertainty. It’s a maelstrom of relatable twentysomething existential confusion, but also one with the romance to map a course towards a brighter future.
The band - Max Newbold (vocals/guitar), Elliot Rawlings (guitar), India Armstrong (bass) and Jake Bishop (drums) - formed in Birmingham during lockdown. Their rise has continued ever since, including a phenomenal 2025 which saw them sell-out two headline tours and power into big venues with The Wombats, Wunderhorse and Inhaler.
