Fler

Fler are a Port Talbot-based band whose music draws on 2000s pop-punk and British emo. Fronted by vocalist Rosie Williams, the group pairs distorted guitars and melodic hooks with writing about identity, relationships and social conflict. ‘You Don’t Know Yourself’ addresses the experience of being mislabelled and reflects Rosie’s life as a trans woman facing people who reject her identity. ‘Bus Stop’ takes a softer approach through an apology to a former partner, while ‘Get Along’ challenges those who use influence to circulate hatred. Together, the songs show Fler moving between personal experience and wider social commentary without leaving their direct, guitar-led sound.
