West London four-piece Patience Please today release their highly anticipated debut EP, Miles Away, via Stray Music. The six-track collection is led by the soaring title track “Miles Away,” now available on all major streaming platforms.
“Miles Away captures us at the point where instinct, ambition and emotional honesty collide,” says frontman Ollie Palmer. “There are big, loud moments rooted in honest songwriting, full of energy and catchy hooks. But there are also intimate moments where you really hear what we’re feeling underneath it all. We’re so excited to finally share it with the world.”
The lead single “Miles Away” is a high-energy anthem about the excitement and gamesmanship of meeting someone new on a night out. With bouncy verses, a soaring chorus, and a playful guitar solo, it has already become a fan favourite in live sets. The full EP balances crunching guitar anthems with moments of vulnerability, showcasing the band’s signature sound: bold, guitar-driven indie pop with sharp melodic sensibility, soaring vocals, and arena-sized ambition.
Patience Please are a four-piece powerhouse based in West London, crafting bold, crunching guitar-driven music with a sharp pop sensibility, soaring vocals, emotional immediacy, and arena-sized ambition. Fronted by Ollie Palmer on vocals and guitar, with Arthur Marriott on lead guitar, Tommy Lane on drums, and Tilly Cripwell on bass, the quartet continues to bond over loud rehearsals, turned-up amps, and an unshakeable belief in the songs they are creating.
After forming, the band threw themselves into live performance, cutting their teeth at venues across London. What began with audiences made up of friends quickly grew as word of their music spread, leading to sell-out shows at venues including The Troubadour, Dingwalls 2 in Camden, The Star of Shoreditch, and a series of more intimate gigs around the city. These performances have cemented their reputation for anthemic, high-energy live shows and a strong connection with audiences.
Support for the band continues to gather pace, having released just four singles to date, including ‘Madelaine’, ‘Wasting Time’, ‘Miracle’ and ‘Pretend’. Their music has amassed over 40,000 organic streams on Spotify alone and garnered support from a selection of widely followed indie music blogs, as well as radio airplay from the likes of BBC Introducing and Radio 2. Adding further momentum, Patience Please have recently made it through to the quarter-finals of the Isle of Wight Festival’s New Blood competition, where they will compete through a series of live performances for a coveted slot on the Sky Presents stage at the Isle of Wight Festival 2026. With an extensive 2026 tour already taking shape, fans can look forward to experiencing Patience Please’s powerful live energy and connection with audiences across the UK, firmly embedding the band on the British indie music scene.
