Having won the national vote to play Y Not Festival 2019, following two sell-out shows this year and BBC Radio 1 and METRO backing, piano-indie band Pacific return with ‘Time to Forget’
Pacific are making a name for themselves with their blend of alternative rock and indie nuances. The piano-indie band return with ‘Time to Forget’ on Friday 30th June, having been spun on BBC Radio 1, featured in METRO and already seen a year of success with two sell out shows and strong BBC Introducing support.
‘Time to Forget’ is an immediate single, with anthemic melodies, unique piano and entrancing guitar and synth play. It captures the feeling of blissful self-actualisation between coming to terms with nostalgia for the past and excitement for the future ahead.
