Drawing inspiration from Mayday Parade, The Summer Set, The Early November, and A Day to Remember, Shout London is a music project helmed by TJ Whiting, a singer-songwriter based in Cambridge, UK. The project made its mark in 2013 with the release of a self-titled EP, followed by the debut album “Rememories”. In 2014, the deluxe edition of the album, “Rewrite the Past”, was released along with a series of popular singles. Supported by a talented group of musicians TJ Whiting has performed at events such as the 2013 Van’s Warped Tour and the 2013 Bryan Stars Tour. He has also had the opportunity to open for well-known acts such as Goo Goo Dolls and Young the Giant at SunFest in 2014. Additionally, he has shared the stage with notable musicians such as Go Radio, Melanie Martinez, Echosmith, JT Woodruff of Hawthorne Heights, and Brook Betts of Mayday Parade.

The new single from Shout London, entitled “White Noise”, is a powerful, introspective track from an artist on the rise. With lyrics that delve into the theme of self-discovery and breaking free from societal expectations, the song is a relatable and inspiring anthem for anyone seeking to forge their own path in life. The chorus, with its repetition of “White noise cutting me out,” serves as a metaphor for the journey to tune out distractions and find your own inner-strength.

The music on “White Noise”, with its soaring vocals and anthemic instrumentals, elevates the song’s message and provides an uplifting backdrop to the lyrics. In a world where so many people feel trapped by their circumstances and the expectations of others, “White Noise” is a refreshing reminder to trust your instincts and to be true to yourself. The song has an added layer of emotional depth thanks to TJ Whiting’s resonating vocals and the ear-teasing melody.

Throughout all his releases, Shout London has been consistent in his ability to thrill listeners with impressive, ear-catching instrumentals and lyrics that everyone can resonate with. That winning formula is wholly preserved on “White Noise”.

The connection an artist like this can make with his listeners, purely through showing his strengths and vulnerabilities, is something that doesn’t go unnoticed. The lyrics shine through here. “Now I’m cruising through the valleys of the darkness. Fighting through the hardest, so I am ready any time. In any line, I’m feeling fine. To let go of the fears. I let go of them all.”

“White Noise” once again displays Shout London’s mastery of the alternative rock genre. The song instantly conjures images of legendary bands from the past, and embodies the perfect balance of nostalgic familiarity and fresh, modern vibrancy.

However, what sets Shout London apart from these classic bands is TJ Whiting’s unique pop sensibility, which adds a fresh and modern twist to the familiar sounds of alternative rock. In this musical triumph, Shout London demonstrates why he is quickly making a name for himself in the industry.

“White Noise” is a true standout, characterized by its soaring melody, cerebral lyrics, and irresistible catchiness. It’s a track that brings the project to its peak, harkening back to the band’s previous smashes, like “Someday” and “Lost In The Dark”. The track is poised to become a standout of Shout London’s discography.
