Immerse yourself in the nostalgic 80’s vibes with The Mustard’s Synth Indie Rock sound and feel an amazing energy.

The Mustard, hailing from Bracknell in the United Kingdom, are breathing new life into the genre of synth indie rock with their nostalgic 80’s vibes. Their new single, “Part of Me,” is a shimmering example of their ability to blend the nostalgic sounds of the past with modern indie rock elements.

With a captivating lineup consisting of Charles Harry Allen on frontman vocals, Ollie Foord on guitar and backing vocals, Lukas Kelly on keys and arrangements, Mike Jackson on bass and songwriting, and Carl Sampson on drums and percussion, this band is effortlessly producing music that resonates deeply with both new and old school fans.

As an IndieRock.News music curator, let me just say that “Part of Me” stands shoulder to shoulder with the iconic works of bands like Simple Minds and Tears for Fears. Their influences are evident, yet The Mustard manages to carve out a unique sound that sets them apart.

As Ollie Foord and Lukas Kelly teamed up just after lockdown with their close friends and original singer Jez Dubery to start this new project, they have managed to create a massive cinematic sound that glows especially between the keys/synths and gargantuan guitar sweeps.

“Part of Me” is lyrically designed to connect on a personal level with listeners, invoking themes of missing and losing loved ones. It’s relatable for anyone who has ever felt the absence of someone dear. This single doesn’t just tug at the heartstrings but does so in a grand, sweeping style that aims to fill the room with sound.

As the band mentions, “The ethos behind ‘Part of Me,’ and all the songs, is the massive cinematic sound, especially between the keys/synths and the massive guitar sweeps.” This ethos resonates deeply within the track, making it a standout example of modern indie melodic pop rock.

Joining the ranks of other notable UK culture and rock-pop artists, The Mustard’s influence is evident across their discography.

Bands like Duran Duran, One Republic, and The Who have left an indelible mark on their music, but The Mustard take those inspirations and turn them into something distinctly their own. The frontman, Charles Harry Allen, delivers male vocals with a gravitas that pulls the listener in, making it impossible to turn away.
