Bristol based My First Time return with new single, 'Tough', accompanied by an official performance video shot in a North London laundrette.
‘Tough’ is a commentary on uniform monotony and the sense of gloom pervading a bustling early morning tube carriage, exploring themes of the emptiness of modern working life.
Listen to ‘Tough’ on North London Forever.
Having first met at university in Bristol, My First Time is comprised of friends, Isaac (lead vocals/guitar), Jordanna (drums), James (guitar) and Naia (bass/vocals). A band inspired as much by the everyday, inner-city philosophies of The Streets and Parklife-era Blur to the pure pop dynamism of Marina (fka Marina & The Diamonds), My First Time are a band with plenty to say.
Their music — a crushing mix of new-school punk, thrashy pop and twisted riffs — delivers both arresting social commentary and new-school satire, with the band’s character-based approach to songwriting granting them an immediate point of difference.
Tipped by Kerrang!, NME and Dork for 2026, the band released their eponymous debut EP in March, before heading out on a rowdy UK mini-tour, later touching down at The Great Escape and supporting Girl Scout on their own UK headline run.
