Montello continue their rapid rise with the release of their new single ‘Suit & Tie’, marking the latest step in the Wigan quartet’s fast-moving journey.
The track follows a breakout year for the band, which has seen them take to stages at The Great Escape, Isle of Wight Festival, Tramlines and Sound City, while steadily building a reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting emerging indie acts. Working with producer Luke Owens, ‘Suit & Tie’ refines the band’s sound, blending jangling guitar lines, tight rhythms and a melodic immediacy that feels both fresh and familiar.
There’s a clear sense of progression in the track, with Montello balancing the energy of their live shows against more focused, mature songwriting. Hints of indie accessibility run throughout, while a subtle nod to classic influences underpins the band’s modern approach.
Lyrically, ‘Suit & Tie’ taps into a wider creative frustration, reflecting on the realities of pursuing music in an increasingly difficult landscape. It’s a theme that adds weight to the track without losing the band’s natural sense of momentum and drive.
Following their debut EP, Montello continue to build radio support, with more new music planned as they push further into 2026. Stream the track in the player below.
