We recently had the exhilarating experience to check out the new single, “Sugar On My Tongue “, from Bath’s indie-americana four-piece Young Martyrs. You can listen to “Sugar On My Tongue” Here

This is the second single to be taken from their upcoming third studio album ‘Might Just Be Enough’, arriving in the Summer of 2026.

We were immediately taken with the glorious guitar sound on “Sugar On My Tongue “ , from Young Martyrs, it is an absolutely brilliantly crafted song that could possibly be the song of the summer.

This song is one of three on the album written by lead guitarist Rich Beeby. Discussing the lyrical themes explored in the single, Beeby says, “The band rocks and rolls in this song so it needed a lyric that’s raw and does most of its thinking from the neck down. It’s about the visceral feelings of unspoken attraction and physical longing, and how those feelings might be suppressed, but can eventually develop into fantasy or obsession. It’s really down to the listener to decide if surrendering to that intoxicating lustfulness should be avoided or celebrated.”

Alongside the single, the band filmed a music video in one of their hometowns of Bristol, deciding to film the video at both local rehearsal studio Firebird Studios and Lick’n Chick’n takeaway near the cities centre. The video stars Lorien Tear and Sadie Evans who recently won Best Actress at the ‘It’s My Shout’ film awards. 

The video was shot and directed by Rhys Davies of Furball Films, and follows its two lead actors as they portray the unrequited adoration of one young soul for another, and the object of the unwanted desire starting to warm to the idea. The band chose to record the video on the streets and surrounding areas of Bristol to celebrate their local culture and to tip their hat to the place where they first began to build their reputation.

Without hesitation or question, you need to check out “Sugar On My Tongue “ from Young Martyrs.
