Michael Gallagher releases his brand new single Kids, out today Friday 25th February 2022 via Humble Angel Records. Playing with light and shade, Kids begins with Michael’s stripped back vocal and from-the-heart lyricism, before breaking into a raucous indie rock earworm of a chorus. It firmly puts the young British songwriter on the map as an artist to watch in 2022.
“Kids is about being young and not knowing what ‘to do’ when you ‘grow up’. I suppose it’s kind of a letter to my younger self, but when writing it I realised this must be something that everyone goes through. It’s my message everyone to say whatever it is you want to do, go out and do it”- Michael Gallagher
Michael Gallagher is a singer and songwriter, crafting songs that tell real stories about real people and real life. Born and raised in Hartlepool, the former shipbuilding and steel town in Teesside where a strong local spirit has seen the town through tough times, Michael has honed his talent for music since childhood. It was Michael’s nan who gave him his initial introduction to music culture, gifting him a pile of CDS from David Bowie, The Rolling Stones and more classic luminaries to absorb. Michael was soon inspired to pick up a guitar he was given as a child, and taught himself to play- all the while enlightened to contemporaries such as Oasis, Razorlight, The Wombats and later, The Cribs. He was soon playing shows in local pubs and bars, steadily building a local fanbase. It was this growing awareness in his community that led Michael to continue writing new songs, and develop his talent for honest, sharply observed lyrics. Michael has been performing numerous virtual shows and festivals during lockdown, following his stint on the pre-covid live circuit building his fanbase.
