Concrete Club Deliver a Gritty Anthem with New Single ‘Paycheck to Paycheck’

Since their formation at the end of 2022, Concrete Club have wasted no time in carving out a name for themselves. In little over a year, the band have completed a full UK tour, headlined multiple raucous, sold-out shows, played at the iconic Albert Hall in Manchester, and perfected a live sound that is as energetic as it is unapologetically in-your-face.

Their new single, 'Paycheck to Paycheck,' is a fitting testament to Concrete Club’s ethos. A gritty study of life in the age of austerity and cutbacks, the track offers a sharp, unvarnished take on the realities of scraping by, capturing the hopes, frustrations and resilience of a generation trying to build a future while the odds are stacked against them. It's a raw yet uplifting anthem that feels both deeply personal and widely relatable.

Concrete Club are a difficult band to pigeonhole – and deliberately so. While rooted loosely in the realms of indie rock and pop, their sound draws on a multitude of influences, blending genres with a confidence that feels both fresh and rebellious. They are moving away from the well-trodden Manchester indie sound that dominated previous eras, though they still tip their caps to their musical forebears. Instead, Concrete Club forge their own path, writing songs that reimagine the mundanities of everyday life, the pursuit of a better world, and the joy found in slumming it while chasing a dream.

The buzz surrounding the band is growing at a rapid pace, with heavyweights such as Liam Gallagher, Ian Brown, Mani, and Andy Dunlop already singing their praises. It’s not hard to see why. Concrete Club’s mix of grit, heart, and fearless experimentation has set them apart in a crowded scene, and with ‘Paycheck to Paycheck’, they have delivered a song that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of a band – and a generation – refusing to be beaten.

If Concrete Club’s momentum is anything to go by, ‘Paycheck to Paycheck’ is only the beginning of what promises to be a thrilling journey.
