Indie rock newcomers The Mucks from Coventry return with “Need Your Love” — a soul-stirring representation of young love that is falling apart due to distance, commitments and growing up. Set against the backdrop of two people leaving for university, the track captures the quiet heartbreak of drifting apart, even when the feelings haven’t gone away.
With emotionally raw vocals and lyrics that cut deep, “Need Your Love” channels the confusion, craving, and sadness of what once was. As one partner begins to move on, the narrator is left behind — reliving promises that were supposed to last forever.
“She used to call me in the morning / She kept on reassuring / Now it’s just a text once a day.”
“And I need your love / And I bleed your trust / The times we had we said will never end.”
The song builds with a slow and gradual build of strong vocals and instrumentation so the listener can get a feel of how desperate and fed up the narrator becomes. Full of red flags, unanswered questions, and the pain of watching someone become a stranger. “Need Your Love” is solely about the memory of a couple, which listeners can almost definitely relate to as they have to understand to let go of the things that are sometimes holding them back in life.
With this release, The Mucks continue to prove their gift for turning deeply personal moments into powerful, relatable anthems for a new generation.
For fans of: Inhaler, Sam Fender, The 1975 and the likes.

The Mucks are a 5-piece indie rock band formed in the heart of Coventry back in 2022. They have made a name for themselves in the west midlands indie music scene with a sold out headline show in Coventry at HMV Empire and multiple Birmingham gigs. The Mucks have taken fans by storm with their effortless take on modern indie rock that will for sure turn anyone’s head when they are turning it up to 11 on stage. They combine a mix of fast-paced, heart-felt, relatable sounds that can be understood by listeners of all ages.
The Mucks look to broaden their horizons in 2025 having already played shows in Liverpool and Manchester to showcase their take on the indie scene. Having worked at some well renowned studios across the UK with top producers, The Mucks are set to get as much of their music out as soon as it is perfected. Most recently having been down in Brighton at Salvation Music Studios with Nick Brine to record songs that are by far the best ones yet.
