And this took little time to materialise during lockdown. Today we’re talking about some of the most innovative and fun things we’ve seen come out of it and whether these trends might be here to stay.

If you're new here, our name is Follower, a little band from the UK with a penchant for loud guitars and terrible jokes.

Having got our current lineup together just before lockdown hit, we're bursting with new tracks and ideas to share with you so will be flooding this channel with content over the coming months. In the meantime, you can listen to our previous EP via the links above.

Thanks for listening today and massive hugs/high fives/excited squealing in your general direction if you share this video on to a friend!

Big love,

Follower

Life in lockdown has been tough on everyone, but, as one of the first to close and likely last to re-open, the music industry has ground to such a dramatic halt many fear it may never recover. Join Nick, Joe & Ollie from Follower, for the first ever episode of the 'Behind The Mic' podcast: the show where we'll be peeling back the curtain on life on and off-stage trying to learn a little along the way.

Hot off the back of the #LetTheMusicPlay campaign, in Part 1 of this 3-Part Lockdown series, with 90% of grassroots venues under threat of closure, we discuss the effect on the industry at large - who's been hit hardest, what does it mean for the economy and what the road to recovery might look like. It's not all doom and gloom; over the next week, we'll be looking at the highs and lows of how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted us as individuals, as well as how people have been turning crisis into opportunity. Tune in later this week for Part 2!
