GIRLBAND! have shared their new video for ‘Not Like The Rest’. The video was shot in and around the same Nottingham streets and places that the band grew up, and is sure to resonate with fans of the band and beyond.
The video is a deeply personal project for the band, as Georgie explains
“This video embodies everything the song is about and everything that I felt at the time of writing this song. So knowing there’s a visual representation of that aligning with the song and meaning is amazing. The video delivers all the things we could have wanted and makes that feeling not so scary like it was when I was afraid to be me but to be important and humbly celebrated in the exact way it should be. We just want this to make things a little less scary for other young people.”
‘Not Like The Rest’ is a joyous piece of escapism that perfectly captures the feeling of growing up in a small town, not quite fitting in and dreaming of something more.

GIRLBAND! Released their debut EP ‘Heartbreak Town’ last year via Soul Kitchen / EMI North.
Singer Georgie talks about the EP –
“This EP really tells the story of Girlband so far from practicing in my front room and house parties to playing 100s of gigs together all over the country and further afield. All the influences that we talk about and play in the van together come through and end up creating I guess this record. The lyrics are messages from that heart and what I really believe in, stand for and want people to hear so they too can relate and feel that . From personal stories of coming out, freedom and empowerment to what it’s like to be from a working class town. It’s music for all the people and that’s what I think sets us apart from all the other girl bands out there.”
The Nottingham-based three-piece have provided urgent and thrilling guitar music, with their finely crafted melodies married to rock and punk influences. It’s music with universal appeal, and has seen them win fans across the UK and Europe over the past 18 months. They’ve been featured by NME, Rolling Stone, Clash, Dork, Under The Radar, The Line Of Best Fit, BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music. A triumphant debut performance at Glastonbury came along with support slots with Sex Pistols, The Police, Eaves Wilder, Nxdia and James, playing The Great Escape and their first UK headline tour. Most recently they toured with Tom A Smith, a co-headline tour for Independent Venue Week. With a packed live schedule throughout the rest of the year GIRLBAND! are becoming an essential and vital live act.
