Emerging as one of the UK’s most compelling voices in contemporary folk-rock, Bailey Tomkinson & The Locals have released their anticipated new single, Supermoon. The track arrives as the band continues to build momentum through high-profile performances and growing national recognition.
Supermoon is a confessional folk-pop anthem that explores the nuanced complexities of modern relationships. Centered on the quiet, often unspoken experience of feeling attraction to someone else even when you’re happily committed, the song offers a candid reflection on instinct and vulnerability.
“Supermoon puts words to the things we all feel but rarely say that quiet, guilty moment of noticing someone else, even when you’re happy in your relationship,” says frontwoman Bailey Tomkinson.
Musically, the single draws on the rich sonic palette of Laurel Canyon and heartland rock, blending shimmering ‘80s guitars with warm saxophone lines. The result is a retro-tinged summer sound that evokes the spirit of artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Sheryl Crow, HAIM, and Maggie Rogers, while retaining a distinctive Cornish identity.
Bailey Tomkinson & The Locals have established a reputation for merging contemporary storytelling with classic Californian influences. Their unique style has earned critical acclaim, with Daily Star describing them as “the UK’s answer to Daisy Jones & The Six,” while House of Solo praised their ability to “shatter preconceptions on the folk-rock scene.”
This release follows a period of significant achievements for the band. Recent highlights include being named among BBC Introducing’s Ones To Watch for 2025, performing at The English Riviera Airshow, and sharing stages with major artists such as Keane and Sheryl Crow.
The group’s current lineup, Bailey Tomkinson (vocals), Jordan Lee Collins (guitar), Tadhg Cullen (bass), Callum Masters (drums), and Daniel Woodfield (saxophone), reflects a tight-knit dynamic rooted in shared musical passions. Their collective influences range from Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young to The Eagles and Sam Fender, forming the backbone of their compelling live performances.
Having recently headlined London’s Fiddler’s Elbow, Bailey Tomkinson & The Locals are set to continue their summer tour with appearances at September Festival on September 21 and Kernowfornia Festival on September 27. Bailey will also perform a series of intimate solo shows across Cornwall in the coming weeks. Looking ahead, the band plans to embark on a major UK headline tour alongside the release of a new EP this autumn.
