FEELING BLUE
'A FAST PACED, RIFF HEAVY SECOND RELEASE FROM THE 139 FOR YOU IN TIMES OF REFLECTION'
OUT 4TH MARCH 2022
The 139’s second single ‘Feeling Blue’ depicts just what the name of the track might suggest and the longing for those things we can’t always keep.
Rejection is something we all know well, and the song is derived from those sullen days of overthinking and reminiscing where we’re always left ‘Feeling Blue’.
While the title of the track might suggest another sullen breakup song, the punch of the hard-hitting melodies and punchy rhythm brings life to the song and demonstrates how The 139 aren’t just any other indie band.
Following the release, the official track will be accompanied by a live version and video, recorded at Factory Studios, Bristol.
‘Huge Track… As a debut, you can’t get much stronger than that… and I love it as a track. I can’t wait to hear what comes next.’ - Adam Crowther, BBC Radio Bristol
'I think you guys are so promising - really good vibes' - Adam Jackson, Sofar Sounds UK
ABOUT THE 139
From Bristol with love, The 139 are a new band to enter the indie scene. With soft melodies and solid licks, Tom, George, Ben and Danny speak for those lost in the middle without a voice of their own.
Not only are they bandmates, The 139 are named after their shared home in Bristol where the boys are constantly writing new music and enjoying each other's company.
The 139 began in lockdown 2020, when lead vocalist Tom Smee began to write and recorded demos of tracks that would later become the band's first two singles. 'The Past 6 Months,' the band's debut single was released in Sept 2021, creating a splash in Bristol and acting as the pre-cursing for a number of large shows performed by the band.
These shows included a sold out show with Pentire at the Elemental Bakery, a packed night at Art Club market, Sofar Sounds Bristol and support for China Bears at Crofters Rights and Meeking at The Louisiana. The band also received radio play from Adam Crowther on BBC Radio Bristol, stating ‘Huge Track… As a debut, you can’t get much stronger than that… and I love it as a track. I can’t wait to hear what comes next.’
Fast forward to March 2022, the boys are now looking forward to meeting fans, friends and family at their next show at Exchange on 24th March to celebrate the release of Feeling Blue.
