Alternative quartet Daytime TV have unleashed their most explosive work to date with the release of their pounding comeback single, ‘Pause’, forged in the turbulence of the modern world. Listen here.
The track serves as a visceral response to a world spinning out of control and an urge to reclaim individual identity. It is the first release on the band’s new label, Marshall Records.
‘Pause’ marks a definitive shift for the band, fusing their signature sound with a darker, electronic pulse that mirrors the relentless intensity of the 2026 landscape, juxtaposing soaring, pounding energy with a computer-voice command to halt the chaos.
Edinburgh-based singer Will Irvine said: “Everything felt so prescribed and inescapable and I needed to reclaim who I was. ‘Pause’ is about finding a way to fully let go and unearth your inner power amongst all the noise.”
Forged during a period of intense personal and global chaos, ‘Pause’ channels the reality of battling serious illness.
Building on the momentum of a year spent in creative seclusion and a legacy of standout performances at BST Hyde Park and Mad Cool Festival, Daytime TV are no longer just “rising stars”; they are positioning themselves as the sonic conscience of a generation feeling the weight of a world “speeding towards a cliff edge”.
Having formed in 2020, Daytime TV built a reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting emerging acts, sharing stages with You Me At Six, Twin Atlantic and Two Door Cinema Club, and delivering standout performances at BST Hyde Park and Mad Cool Festival. In 2026 they signed to Marshall Records, the label owned by the legendary amp company, home to the likes of The Molotovs and Nova Twins.
