Emerging from Nottingham’s thriving alt-rock scene, multi-talented artist Joey Collins returns with his latest single ‘Is This What We’re Living For?’–a genre-defying track that delivers both sonic grit and emotional gravity.
Merging brooding electronic soundscapes with the raw force of alternative rock, Collins crafts an immersive experience. Drawing influence from the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens, and early Linkin Park, the track strikes a powerful balance between urgency and atmosphere. Driven by pulsing production and introspective lyricism, it captures the existential weight of modern life with authenticity and passion.
Collins, who has been making music since childhood, has steadily built a reputation for pushing creative boundaries. His artistry resists categorisation, instead leaning into experimentation and emotional transparency at every turn.
‘Is This What We’re Living For?’ is already making waves, earning spots on Spotify’s editorial playlists and attracting praise from key tastemakers such as BBC Introducing, CLOUT, Notion, Earmilk, and BBC 6 Music’s Tom Robinson.
With a second album on the way and a headline show lined up at The Bodega this August, Joey Collins is clearly carving out a path as one of the UK’s most compelling new voices.
