HIMALAYAS Ignite Anticipation with Explosive New Single ‘What If…?’

Review By Glen Parkes

HIMALAYAS, is set to release their highly anticipated new single ‘What If…?’ this Friday, October 25th, via Nettwerk Music Group. Known for their electrifying live performances and gritty, high-energy sound, the band will launch the track with a special show at Camden’s Underworld on Wednesday, October 23rd—a precursor to their headlining UK tour with Kids In Glass Houses this November.

Frontman Mike Griffiths leads the charge with commanding vocals that pack a punch, while Joe Williams delivers sharp, melodic guitar riffs that hit you right in the chest. Louis Heaps on bass and James Goulbourn on drums form the backbone of the band’s sound, propelling the intensity of their music forward with relentless energy. Together, they create an infectious blend of rock hooks and anthemic choruses, a formula they’ve perfected over the years but continue to evolve with each release.

‘What If…?’ showcases everything we’ve come to love about HIMALAYAS—fierce guitar lines, pounding rhythms, and a raw, unapologetic rock vibe. Lyrically, the track explores themes of uncertainty and possibility, with Griffiths’ impassioned delivery reflecting both vulnerability and defiance. The song is a reflection of their journey so far—bold, determined, and unafraid to push boundaries. From the first note, it’s clear that HIMALAYAS are ready to step into their next phase with full force..

With ‘What If…?’, HIMALAYAS prove once again why they’re one of the most exciting bands on the scene right now. Their ability to marry blistering rock energy with introspective lyricism sets them apart, and as they continue to grow both in sound and stature, it’s clear that this is only the beginning. Keep an eye out for their new single and catch them live if you can—because HIMALAYAS are a band you won’t want to miss.
