Hamartia drop anti-Valentine’s anthem ‘Bloom’, reminding you that ‘you’re more than your worst boyfriend’
Following on from a 2024 which saw the band appear alongside exciting new talent such as Lake Malice, Orchards and Love Rarely, self-proclaimed ‘losercore’ quartet Hamartia have released their brand new single, ‘Bloom’ - with a debut headline show slated for February 12th at Cardiff’s Tiny Rebel.
‘Bloom’ is an anti-Valentine’s anthem about coming to terms with the fact that not only has your relationship has run its course, but you’ve lost yourself in the process. It’s about realising that it’s better to be alone and totally free to be yourself, than it is to feel restricted, stuck and suffocated in a relationship - and using that freedom to try and reclaim what’s left of yourself.
Vocalist Sophie Smith said “Bloom is another track that feels to us like a three-minute long post-breakup therapy session. We’ve all been in a position where we’ve changed who we are for somebody in the hopes that it ‘fixes’ something - but in reality, it does the opposite.”
Hamartia’s heart-on-sleeve brand of ‘trauma dumping’ has always set them apart from the rest of the scene - connecting quickly with a rapidly-growing, dedicated fanbase. The band has been labelled as one of Noizze’s Top 20 Artists Set to Conquer 2025, thanks to their unwavering desire to be true to themselves at every opportunity in their songwriting and their live shows - which at times could be mistaken for group therapy sessions.
Sophie continues, “This song is our opportunity to lay all of our feelings bare, work through them and hopefully come out the other side with a new found appreciation for being true to ourselves, and putting ourselves first for once. You’re more than your worst boyfriend.”
