You know that moment when you’re perfectly content being single, and then someone crashes into your life like a freight train? Milton Keynes pop-punkers Autumn Fires have bottled that exact feeling into their latest single ‘Fall For You‘, and honestly, it’s the kind of track that’ll have you grinning like an idiot whether you’re loved-up or not.
The band have just announced their new EP BLOOM., dropping 25th February 2026 via Marshall Records, and if ‘Fall For You‘ is anything to go by, we’re in for something special. It’s lively, infectious pop-punk done right!
Autumn Fires earned this release the hard way. After winning Kerrang! Radio’s ‘The Deal’ competition, they scored a slot opening the Fresh Blood stage at Download Festival 2025, studio time at The Marshall Studio with Grammy and Mercury-nominated producer Romesh Dodangoda (Bring Me The Horizon, Nova Twins, Funeral for a Friend), and this EP release with Marshall Records.
“Winning The Deal has easily been the wildest and most exciting moment of our careers to date,” vocalist Charlotte Haimes tells us. “We barely slept the night before Download. We just chatted into the night about how excited we were, and when we saw how many people came to see us, it blew our minds.”
Haimes has been deliberately avoiding writing happy love songs until now, worried about falling into clichéd territory. Then she got engaged, and suddenly the song wrote itself. “It’s genuinely about the story of wanting to stay single, and then that amazing person appears in your life out of absolutely nowhere,” she explains.
