For Littlemen, the story behind the music is inseparable from the music itself. The Bath alternative rock band are preparing to release material tied to Evil On Both Sides, as well as a live recording made at Real World Studios and later mixed at NAM Studios. The upcoming work arrives at a time when the band are embracing change, building on years of experience while moving confidently into new sonic territory.
Frontman Nick remains the driving force at the heart of the group. Over a career spanning more than four decades, he has worked across touring, artist management, publishing, and studio production, bringing a rare breadth of experience to his role as singer and lyricist. His songs reflect that long view, balancing personal perspective with themes that can reach a broad audience. Littlemen’s material is rooted in storytelling, and Nick’s background gives those stories unusual depth.
His life has also been marked by extraordinary perseverance. A motorcycle accident at 17 left him with a broken back and unable to walk, but he continued to pursue music rather than retreat from it. That determination remains central to Littlemen’s identity. The band’s work carries an undercurrent of endurance, something that becomes even more meaningful as they continue to develop and release new music.
The group’s present lineup has helped redefine their sound since 2022. Moving beyond an earlier Americana base, Littlemen now draw on a broader mix of influences that includes Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen, Mumford & Sons, Simple Minds, Nick Cave, and Editors. Their writing process is notably collaborative, with Nick generating lyrics and loops, Mark Jones shaping melody, and Grammy-winning drummer Robert Brian handling arrangements, co-writing, and production. With several albums already behind them and a sixth release in sight, Littlemen are showing that longevity in music is not just about survival, but about growth.
