Serving as a striking introduction to the band, Nottingham’s Bloodworm have shared Bloodlust, their first single of 2026. With the innate ability to create nostalgic, yet equally fresh sounds, the band's latest effort wastes no time in stamping its mark with dazzling guitars and towering melodies. Of the new single, the band's frontman George Curtis says: ‘'Bloodlust' was written about the duality of relationships and the angst of being stuck in a small town. We had the raw excitement of starting something new and just not really caring about anything else aside from the music itself. We’ve really tried to capture the feeling of that energy in the recording." With sell-out shows at The Bodega, and, Richard Oakes of Suede picking them out to support on the band's 17 date sold-out tour having been impressed after catching them live, the year is already shaping up to build on their previous efforts.
