Fast rising teenage trailblazers Florentenes return with, ‘Think Twice’, a soaring indie anthem and the second single from their upcoming EP.
The track cements their place at the forefront of the UK’s new guitar movement. Building on the success of ‘The News’, which earned high profile airplay from Radio X’s John Kennedy & BBC 6 Music’s Chris Hawkins, ‘Think Twice’ captures the raw intensity and swagger of a band quickly becoming one of Britain’s most exciting new acts.
Recorded with legendary producer Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, Jamie Webster, The Who), ‘Think Twice’ is a sonic step forward for a band still barely a year out of school and already helping to define a new era of northern guitar music. Evoking the relentless energy of The Libertines and the melodic urgency of the Arctic Monkeys, it is both cathartic and full of bite. Frontman William Train Smith explains, “Think Twice is a story about the emotional end of a relationship, told from different sides, one cynical, one hopeful. It’s about the pain, learning to let go, heal and find yourself again”

‘Think Twice’ feels like a defining release, a song that combines emotional honesty with an anthemic northern sprit, and one that makes Florentenes impossible to ignore. The single arrives ahead of their final EP trilogy before entering debut album mode; which promises to showcase the full range of their songwriting and ambition.
Momentum around Florentenes continues to build. Fresh off PUNCHBAG UNI: The University Tour; a ground-breaking 15-date run in partnership with Live Nation and FAE Group designed to reinvigorate live music on campuses across the UK; the band have built a loyal following through a series of headline shows and growing streaming support, with regular playlist additions across Spotify & Apple Music.
In the meantime, the bands live schedule continues including appearances alongside, The Wombats, Red Rum Club, and The Rolling People, plus early 2026 dates supporting Justin Hawkins and Chris Hawkins’ Amazing Friends Night.
