About REWS
REWS is the high energy alt-rock/pop band and alter-ego of N. Irish songwriter Shauna Tohill. Beginning as a duo in 2014, the band has evolved into a stronger, and even more formidable force in the last year, ready to claim more stage time across the world and creating a genuine buzz on the UK/Irish music scene.
The act's first single, "Miss You In The Dark" was released on 23rd June 2017 to coincide with the band's performance on the John Peel Stage at Glastonbury Festival, with BBC 6 Music and BBC's TV coverage highlighting them as one of the acts of the weekend.
Following singles have been featured on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Radio X and Planet Rock Radio, with "Your Tears" being BBC Introducing's 'Track of the Week' on BBC Radio 1, along with REWS' debut album 'Pyro' featuring heavily across the UK press.
After a successful album cycle which lead to a supporting slot with Halestorm in September 2018 (as well as various successful headline tours), Shauna is now working on the highly anticipated album number two.
If you didn't catch REWS playing a number of selected Festivals around the UK this summer, you can see the band on a string of live dates supporting The Darkness in November and December this year, kicking off in Newcastle on the 14th of Nov.
