The girl band release their latest track laden with social commentary

The Seamonsters are a five-piece indie-pop band hailing from the North, consisting of Naomi Mann, Lauren Smith, Holly Thompson, Tassie Drobinksi and Ciara Hurding. There’s no denying that they have been going from strength to strength throughout the last year. If they hadn’t already asserted themselves as ones to watch when they released their previous single Blue Movie Baby then How To Be Famous takes them up a notch to indie icons in the making.

How To Be Famous tells the toxic tale of social media and the effects it has on its users. Considering The Seamonsters are made up of a group of young females; they speak in a raw, unapologetic way about how they feel about the current trends and popular topics on social media. With almost 3000 likes on Facebook and 6.2k followers on Instagram respectively, they are fast becoming an extremely important voice for our generation and girls worldwide.

The song, if stripped away from its lyrics, is already catchy and dynamic on its own, with all of the girls making just as much of an impact as Naomi Mann’s lead vocals. This is certainly different from their past singles and it feels as if this is the route they want to go down — it’s not easy making such strong, bold statements but the Sheffield act makes it look like a piece of cake. Without a doubt, if they weren’t already, they are definitely ones to keep an eye on in 2020.
