HELP ID this song!

Indie alternative rock song, I believe a band from the UK, a guy walking around in a gloomy town, the video may be black and grey. 2022-2024 timeframe.

Constructive Feedback

Hello all! As a front man of an up and coming rock band I would like to ask personally what sort of content, music, videos, merchandise, etc do you want to see from new bands more often or even things you don’t see very often at all that you would like to see happening more. We appreciate any feedback you can give us ! Many thanks - The Threats

FEAR OF MARKO [Hyperpop Rock]

https://preview.redd.it/2k244jm5dewd1.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=50e7014641dca1d1a5a891a27e1ca512d116b087

Combining FEAR OF MARKO’s compelling songwriting with rock/hip hop producer Jonjo Yano’s experimental take on 00's nostalgia. ‘Mood Ring’ lands as FEAR OF MARKO’s latest and most fully realised single to date.

Mood Ring showcases FEAR OF MARKO’s knack for infectious pop songwriting along with all the garishly gritty storytelling he has become known for.
