West Lothian faves Mark Sharp and the Bicycle Thieves release new summer single

West Lothian indie-pop group Mark Sharp & The Bicycle Thieves have released their captivating, uplifting new single ‘Superman.’

Full of melodic hooks and cosmic, spiralling guitar solos, ‘Superman’ has all the hallmarks of an instant hit, with the euphoric chorus “I’ll be by your side/underneath electric skies” is guaranteed to be a sing-along crowd favourite at shows and festivals in the coming months.

The West Lothian boys gave amassed a loyal following of fans over the years and supported fellow local hero Lewis Capaldi on the European leg of his world tour recently.

Speaking about the track, Mark Sharp said: “Superman is about being there for someone no matter what. The electric skies lyrics are representative of the hard times and turmoil that life brings, but this song is a message for the people around me who are finding it tough that I’ll have their back.”

The popular Scottish five-piece take inspiration from Foals, Bombay Bicycle Club and Stereophonics, and are renowned for their energetic live performances.

They have sold out their headline slots at Glasgow venues including King Tuts and St Luke’s, and have also played at festivals including TRNSMT, Party at the Palace and Edinburgh Summer Sessions.
