We Are Sovereign, a hard-hitting band from Derby, United Kingdom, are a powerful blend of raw emotion, fusing the nostalgia of early 2000s post-hardcore with the cutting-edge innovation of modern synth-driven experimentation and hints of metal-core. Their music transcends sound—it’s a deeply emotional journey, weaving vulnerability and storytelling into a tapestry that resonates with listeners.
Vocalist Laura, whose personal struggles with gender dysphoria and a transformative journey to self-acceptance have profoundly shaped the band’s vision, We Are Sovereign is more than music—it’s a testament to resilience. These experiences became the foundation for their debut album, Step Out Your Comfort Zone, which is available now. Their band statement remains their powerful manifesto: We Speak For Those Who Feel Like Giving Up, We Speak For Those Who Feel Like They Have Lost The Way, We Speak For Those Who Fear The Unknown, We Are Sovereign.
The band has already established themselves as a force to be reckoned with, earning support from Kerrang! Radio, where three singles from their debut album premiered exclusively, and a feature in Kerrang! Magazine by Sophie K. Recently, We Are Sovereign shared the stage with Dream State at the Derby stop of their UK tour. Fans can also look forward to an exciting collaboration with Jessie Powell of Dream State, set for release in 2025.
Adding to their evolution, We Are Sovereign have this year released a new re:imagined acoustic track, offering fans a glimpse of their versatility. Alongside their signature heavy-hitting set, they now bring an intimate acoustic set to the table, available for live performances. This expansion showcases the band’s ability to blend raw intensity with emotional depth, proving that they’re unafraid to explore new dimensions while staying true to their core vision. With fans getting tattoo’s and their sound ever evolving they have an exciting future ahead of them.
