Don’t Wake the Neighbours are making noise in all the right ways. The seven-piece rock collective are back with their latest single, “My Place in the Sun,” which landed on July 7th. It’s a track that doesn’t just demand attention—it earns it, with a riotous blend of raw emotion, sharp hooks, and a wall of sound that feels both chaotic and cathartic.
The story behind “My Place in the Sun” is as intimate as it is explosive. Originally written by vocalist Jenny on her parents’ piano, the song became the first track the band ever played together—a moment that would shape their identity. “Three years after first playing it, we decided to record it for the album,” Jenny explains. “We spent time perfecting the arrangement, the solo, and the harmonies, then took it to the studio. We recorded each instrument individually—drums, bass, guitars, vocals—and reviewed the mixes until we were completely satisfied. And here we are.”
That meticulous process paid off. The result is a track that fuses the band’s eclectic influences—think The Hives’ swagger, Arctic Monkeys’ lyrical bite, and Måneskin’s glam-punk theatrics—into something unmistakably their own.
Don’t Wake the Neighbours thrive on contrast. Their music is a collision of pounding drums, snarling guitars, and soaring harmonies—what they call “perfect chaos.” But beneath the noise lies a deep emotional current. “My Place in the Sun” is a song about yearning—for belonging, for identity, for a place to call your own. That tension between presence and absence, between noise and nuance, is what gives the track its staying power.
With a lineup that stretches across seven members, Don’t Wake the Neighbours bring a maximalist energy to everything they do. Their live shows are electric, their sound unapologetically big. And with “My Place in the Sun,” they’re not just making music—they’re making a statement.
For fans of Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys, The Hives, and Måneskin, this is your next obsession.
