Premiere: Jordan Allen – ‘Dancing In The Dark’

Bolton four-piece with a gritty take on indie songcraft...

Jordan Allen is both a frontman, and a band.

Confused? You needn't be. Bolton talent Jordan Allen began writing songs inspired by what he saw around him, a world that exists outside the glitzy realm of the Top 40.

Gathering friends around him, the project took on renewed life, but they still use that name… guess it's, well, a bit simpler that way.

New cut 'Dancing In The Dark' offers a gritty take on the indie template, matching carefree riffs to lyrics that speak of the eternal frustrations of love and attraction.

"This song is really about the kind of that girl continuously flirts and teases every bloke she comes across, day-in, day-out with no intention of ever putting out. She's got me 'Dancing In The Dark' is a metaphor for being one of those blokes vying for her attention; when all she really wants is to feel wanted and have all these lads chasing after and fighting over her."
