Coventry newcomers Blush Puppy are closing out 2025 with an electrifying fusion of emo, grunge, and alternative metal on their latest single, “Under The Water.” Released via Venn Records, the track serves as a hauntingly melodic preview of their upcoming debut EP, Here You Dream, and features crystal-clear production from two-time Grammy winner Adrian Bushby. The song masterfully balances early 2000s nostalgia with modern rock intensity, anchored by the band’s signature three-way vocal harmonies. Frontman Ciaran O’Sullivan describes the track as a “submerged, dreamlike space,” born from a rare moment of full-band collaboration in a freezing garden shed that served as their creative sanctuary.
The release is accompanied by a cinematic music video that uses a surreal, “Alice in Wonderland” inspired tea party as a metaphor for mental health and escapism. According to the band, the imagery of drowning represents the heavy burden of keeping internal “monsters” hidden, while the act of letting go symbolizes the euphoria found in vulnerability and shared experience. Drawing influence from acts like Deftones and Boston Manor, Blush Puppy is successfully turning personal struggles into a high-energy, cathartic anthem. With their debut EP set to arrive on March 27, 2026, the quartet is quickly establishing themselves as a bold new voice in the UK’s alternative scene.
