At the end of May 2025, up and coming UK alternative rock band Detroit Run released their debut EP ‘Defiance Part One’.

DETROIT RUN – Defiance Part One EP
Formed in 2022, Liverpool’s Detroit Run began their musical journey in a post-lockdown world at a time when a lot of other new bands were taking their first important steps, or a wealth of should have been established acts were rebuilding the momentum they’d lost from two years away from live audiences. The crowded alt-rock scene didn’t stop these lads making an impression, however. Their early singles ‘Maniac’ (2023) and ‘Prototype’ (2024) were flawless showcases for their sound, sharing a driving, riff based approach, augmented with darkwave synths. Both tracks suggested there would be more greatness ahead, assuming the world could keep itself on an even keel.

Past singles ‘Prototype’ (2024) and ‘Maniac’ (2023) were both flawless showcases for their sound – a driving, riff based approach, augmented with darkwave synths – but their current track ‘Invincible’ raises the bar.
