NEW MUSIC / NEW TOUR
We’ve got unfinished business with 21st Century Fiction… so we’re taking it back on the road to some of our favourite, rowdiest, sweatiest venues across the UK in some of the places we couldn’t get to last time. No stone left unturned.
Presale Wednesday 20th May 10am BST
General sale Friday 22nd May 10am BST
Comment and we’ll drop you a message with the presale details!
Thanks to @amazonmusicuk for putting us and our new song Blood on the Bone on a billboard in Leicester Square over the weekend!
Tag us in your photos and videos with it, and we’ll send you a little snippet of something else we’ve been working on…
It’s official! A new Zon just dropped. So excited to continue my adventure with @theamazons
In truth, if I hadn’t had the met the incredibly talented @jesstookthese back in 2020, none of this would’ve happened. I wouldn’t have moved in with her, and me and my favourite bassist in the world @elljamesbriggs would’ve carried on rumbling down our separate paths forever.
Over the course of 6 years, I’ve gone from cheering in the wings to teching for Joe and standing in for shows in tandem with some other incredibly talented drummers. All the while building an extremely close bond with Elliot, Matt, Chris and (a little bit later) Ella.
I could never dream of filling Joe’s shoes and have no intention of doing so. It’s an honour to have the baton officially passed to me from an extremely generous, talented and kind man…. and thunderous drummer. I can only strive to do the band, the music and the fans justice with my addition and creative influence.
It’s an absolute privilege to join the band made up of my dearest friends. Love you all, thanks for the support and I hope to do you all proud x
The first time I met the boys, I had no idea what I was getting into.
The Castle, Farringdon. A sun-soaked evening, May 2022. They’d just played their new record (How Will I Know If Heaven Will Find Me) live for the first time to an all-industry crowd. I was floored. The stage presence, the ease of it all. Like they’d been born doing it.
Our managers made the introduction. Matt, gracious as ever, pulled me into every conversation in that pub. I remember telling Chris my Dad thought he was a guitar God. Chris was probably thinking: Who is this girl, and why is she talking to me?
At the end of the night, Matt turned to me and asked the question: “Ever thought about being in a band?”
Hard no. I’m a solo artist. Me, in a band? Funny joke. I meant it.

Fast forward. Cold October, the following year. A WhatsApp arrives. The Zons want me to sing on some new demos. Intrigued, I said yes and the intro to Living A Lie was born. In my bedroom, the walls shaken from me screaming backing vocals into a USB mic and the unsuspecting eardrums of my family - it felt freeing.
“Wanna be in the band at my birthday party?”
Terrified. Obviously, I said yes.
——
2024 arrived and didn’t hang around. I blinked, and it was May 16th. Chapel Lane Studios, Hereford. That familiar line of questioning slowly started to shift.
“Will you sing on our album?”
Hell yes.
Somerset House was my Super Bowl halftime show. A cauldron of anxiety and electricity - same thing, really. God, if she could see us now.
——
Then came 2025, Maida Vale, 21st Century Fiction release, GLASTONBURY, and of course, the best two weeks of my life on tour with the people I had grown to love. By then, the question began answering itself.
Until May 2026 (of course, it had to be May), when it stopped being a question altogether.
“Ella, you’re in the band.”
Hard yes.
No sentence has ever felt sweeter to write.
