Newcastle-Upon-Tyne’s emo-pop punk powerhouse, Tired of Fighting, continues to push the
boundaries of heartfelt, high-energy music with their new single, “Castles”, set to release on December 20, 2024, via U.S.-based indie label Punkerton Records.
A deeply emotive track, “Castles” explores the transformative nature of relationships, from
euphoric beginnings to the bittersweet evolution into enduring friendship.

Produced with a raw, yet melodic sound, “Castles” showcases the band’s signature blend of early
2000s emo influence — akin to Motion City Soundtrack and Taking Back Sunday—with the modern energy of Paramore and the narrative depth of The Gaslight Anthem.
A Rising Force in the Emo-Pop Punk Scene – Since forming in 2019, Tired of Fighting has been captivating audiences with their emotionally
charged performances and relatable storytelling. Originally launched as an acoustic project by Nic Wood and bassist George Sharpe, the band evolved into a high-energy trio following the addition of drummer Kev Nolan.
With a growing fanbase in the UK and standout performances at festivals alongside bands like
Trash Boat and Heriot, Tired of Fighting caught the attention of Punkerton Records after their hit lyric video for “Hollow” premiered on BSBTV, guest-hosted by Punkerton’s Brandon Alan Lewis. This fortuitous appearance led to the band signing with the label, solidifying their U.S. expansion.
Looking Ahead with Punkerton Records – The signing with Punkerton Records marks a new chapter for Tired of Fighting, as they prepare to
bring their powerful blend of emo-punk to a global audience. With “Castles” as their debut release under the label, the band continues to cement their reputation as a rising force in the scene.
Fans can stream “Castles” on all major platforms starting December 20, 2024.
