Dancing on Tables – Still Having Fun

Dancing on Tables keep gathering recognition and plaudits – on playlists and at festivals, such as Latitude and The Great Escape.  They became the sound of Schuh x Adidas and multi year Scottish Water advertising campaigns. They’ve performed sessions for Shazam and STV, soundtrack opening credits for Made in Chelsea and been named one of Variety Magazine’s 10 Brits to watch.   The critics have been full of praise:

“Dancing On tables have released their latest anthemic indie banger and we can’t get enough” – Wonderland Magazine

“Too good to ignore, though, a biting indie anthem delivered with poise and passion” – Clash Magazine

“Their dreamy melodies cascade down as searching harmonies scale the track, giving their music a wonderfully abstract soundscape.” Earmilk

Dancing on Tables are enthusiastic about their next EP and the involvement of Liz Rose, Seth Ennis, Only Real and Femke Weidema, and said that writing the first single Not to Need You was more like therapy than songwriting.

“We talked about all the difficulties we faced in life as we told stories of failed friendships and heartaches, before agreeing that we wanted a song that would encapsulate the pain and hurt that people go through in life, but ultimately show that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. The track focuses on someone ending a reliance on someone else, but we wanted the track to apply to all uphill battles, and for ‘the best part of starting over, is not to need you anymore’ to give people hope that things will always get better.”
