In his first-ever feature on our blog, UK electro-rock outfit SIR-VERE explodes onto the scene with a double-A side that bridges the primal throb of analog grit with the sleek pulse of modern electronic muscle. With “REBOUND // IGGY”, SIR-VERE flexes emotional and sonic extremes, marking a pivotal moment in their upward trajectory toward the October 10th release of their upcoming album “ROCKtronicS.” If you’ve been waiting for a band to tap into the futuristic nostalgia of Depeche Mode and the bite of Nine Inch Nails, but with enough flair to light up both the underground and the airwaves, meet your new obsession.
Opening with shimmering synths and a rhythmic backbone that judders like a heart skipping a beat, “REBOUND” is a song designed to grab you from the very first second. The production is polished yet primal — a sleek layering of industrial-laced electronics, neon-lit textures, and a percussive stomp that evokes the dark euphoria of a 3AM club floor. There’s a beautiful tension here between introspection and catharsis.
Lyrically, Craig White captures that disorienting space between heartbreak and hope: the emotional whiplash of leaving one love and tumbling into another — not as a clean break, but as a messy, heartfelt continuation. “It’s about the bounce between one relationship to another, but still feeling love,” he shares, and that tension bleeds into his vocal performance, which is as much a confessional as it is a rallying cry. His delivery rides the beat with cool restraint, but there’s a fragility under the surface, a residual ache wrapped in magnetic detachment. There’s big radio potential in “REBOUND,” but don’t mistake it for cookie-cutter synth-pop. This is artful, visceral electronic rock that grabs hold and doesn’t let go.
If “REBOUND” is all sleek melancholy and heartache with a pulse, “IGGY” is pure punked-up attitude drenched in indie-dance swagger. Anchored by live drums and bass, the track leans more into the dance-rock lineage — think LCD Soundsystem meets Kasabian, with a heavy nod to its namesake, Iggy Pop. This is SIR-VERE flexing their alternative muscles, offering a groove that’s both raw and hypnotic.
The instrumentation is punchy and alive, filled with razor-sharp rhythm guitar, rolling bass, and snares that snap with urgency. Craig’s vocal delivery here is more uninhibited — loose, snarling, playful, and reverent all at once. It doesn’t just honor Iggy Pop — it channels him. There’s a sense of ritual in the way the lyrics and instrumentation interact, like an incantation to summon the god of wild stage presence and eternal cool.
SIR-VERE’s “REBOUND // IGGY” EP is more than just two songs — it’s a statement. A pulse. A switch flipped. Whether you’re nursing the wounds of a love lost or bouncing through a dancefloor haze in the name of Iggy, there’s something electric waiting for you in these tracks. With a retro-futuristic and emotionally raw sound, SIR-VERE is not just riding the wave of alt-electro — they’re carving it with a neon scalpel.
