Have It All

Lifeline

The Void Inside

MPH is an energetic song taking influence from 00s alternative bands like Interpol & Bloc Party. The lyrics deal with singer Conor’s experience of ADHD and trying to understand how his brain works, mainly focussing on overthinking and not being able to switch off with music being the only way to help. 
Brought to life by producer Lewis Johnson Kellett (Pale Blue Eyes), the song is driven by a rapid drum beat and bassline as the song develops around a central chord progression with catchy interlocking guitar melodies before crashing out into a slower reverb-soaked outro. MPH has been a staple of By Wednesday’s set for the past year, firmly cementing itself as the finale of the set that pumps the crowd up for one last dance. 
By Wednesday will be celebrating the release of MPH with a headline show at Manchester’s Yes Basement on Saturday 6th September, before then you can follow their updates on Instagram where you will find all the videos and photos from their tractor-themed shoot for MPH.

That I'm Not

Devil's Daughter

This song was created using a mix of AI lyrics and my own lyrics to create a song about red riding hood and the big bad wolf.

Red's Lament

“Face in a Crowd” captures the loneliness of invisibility — a melodic emo-rock confessional about trying to stand out while feeling unseen. The track blends raw vocals, chiming guitars, and a bittersweet hook that echoes long after the final chord.
