Only The Poets drop their debut album ‘And I’d Do It Again’ on January 30, 2026 via Capitol Records with a massive celebration including a hometown Reading all-dayer hitting four pubs in one day. The band brings their emotionally resonant sound exploring love, loss, mental health and resilience through lived experiences rather than just stories. Latest single “Thinking Bout Your Ex” blends spacious 90s R&B textures with Tommy Longhurst’s captivating vocals tackling male insecurity and post-breakup jealousy in raw, honest terms. Earlier this year they sold out O2 Academy Brixton in ten minutes with a historic £1 show benefiting the LIVE Trust to champion accessibility in live music. The release events kick off January 30 at Manchester Club Academy, hit Reading January 31 for the multi-venue takeover, Southampton Vinilo February 1, London O2 Academy Brixton February 2 with afterparty, and Birmingham HMV February 4 for signing and acoustic show.
