Adult Leisure Releases New Song “The Rules”
Bristol-based alt-rock band Adult Leisure, consisting of Neil Scott (vocals), David Woolford (guitar), Luke Denham (bass) and Nathan Searle (drums), released a new song “The Rules” on July 25, 2025.
The song is the fifth single off of their upcoming debut album “The Things You Don't Know Yet”, which is set to be released on October 3, 2025.
The track combines vibrant synths, lush guitar lines, driving rhythms and anguished vocals to deliver the perfect '80s movie soundtrack.
It was written by David Woolford, Jess Chivers, Luke Denham, Nathan Searle, and Neil Scott. Produced by Ollie Searle.
The band frontman Neil Scott said of the song, “Starting off life via an 'Islands in the Stream'-esque voice-note sent in the band WhatsApp from Dave back in December of 2023, our new single 'The Rules' is exactly the pop-soaked song Dolly Parton would be losing her mind at. We were listening to lots of Blossoms at the time and wanted to write a song from both sides of a relationship on the verge of breaking down. Fast forward to earlier this year, when we were lucky enough to work with the talented Jess Chivers who provided backing vocals on the track, the song and emotions we wanted to capture were truly brought to life. This is our take on the 70s golden era of pop duets.”- The band said of the album, “These last 10 months since we started making this record has saw a lot of change. However, the heart of this record is the four of us best friends pouring our hearts into what we love doing. Pouring out of the album are stories of love, of loss, stories mortality and nostalgia and in the end, after much thought, the title of our debut record could only be 'The Things You Don't Know Yet' - a play on the title of our debut single from 2022 and a fitting representation of where we've come from to where we are now. We're super proud of this record, and we cannot wait for you to finally hear it.”
