It was a difficult October morning when Only The Poets frontman Tommy Longhurst put pen to paper to write Waking in the Dark, an emotionally-charged single reminding you that it’s okay not to be okay.
Released finally on June 5, the song has exceeded expectations, smashing their self-imposed target of 100,000 streams globally in the first week: no mean feat for a completely independent group who are building their fanbase from the ground up.
The brand new video for the track features clips of Tommy playing the song to fans for the very first time ahead of its release - the singer wanted to gauge their true reactions - and almost 100 fans had the opportunity to chat to Tommy and catch an exclusive listen to the single.
