Hot on the heels of their acclaimed 2024 album – REGENT – are thrilled to present a brand new track: “Stuck Like Glue”.
Wasting no time to sit on their laurels, the Southampton Brit-rock revolutionaries are already hatching plans for their third Album, titled ‘The Cognitive Revolution’ and due for release next year.
Riding the crest of a wave, “Stuck Like Glue” finds the band in rude creative health.
From its piercing riffs to Ben Rooke’s gutsy, gravelled vocals, it’s a track that oozes out of the monitors in a surge of feedback and is guaranteed to cement itself in your head all day long.
Brimming with the confidence of a band on a roll and saddled with the bags of attitude fans have come to expect from Regent, “Stuck Like Glue” comments on that adhesive-like quality of an addiction and the powerful grip they can hold on your personality. As Rooke explains:
““Stuck Like Glue” is about my inner demons and how we are inseparable… You go through life keeping them at bay and instead of fighting it sometimes you embrace it… That’s what this song is about…”
Having released their highly esteemed second record ‘Beggars Belief’ just a few months ago, the South coast outfit will be performing the record in its entirety, plus classics from their growing back catalogue, and potentially a few new surprises too… Tickets are on sale now here.

Purveyors of an insurgent, no-nonsense brand of rock’n’roll, Regent, have forged a reputation as one of Southampton’s finest and fastest emerging acts.
Tackling widespread issues of political mistrust and economic struggles, to more introspective tracks homing-in on personal hardships to the joy to be found in relationships, Regent’s knack for relatable songs and hook-laden tunes has seen their popularity swell in recent years.
Riding high on a string of highly-charged single releases, the band delivered their acclaimed debut LP ‘Just A Revolution’ in 2022. Swiftly following it with recent EP ‘Believe’, the band supported the release with a number of high profile headline shows, festival slots, and supporting shows with notable acts like Reverend & The Makers.
On their journey to date, Regent have earned praise from the likes of Louder Than War, Earmilk and Gigslutz, and have gained radio play from Radio X, Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio, Amazing Radio and BBC Introducing as well as RTE2 in Ireland and SiriusXM in the US. The group’s gripping sound has also attracted attention across the world of TV and sport, with airplay on Soccer AM, Sky Sports Darts, the Premier League, BBC Six Nations Rugby, BT Sport and BBC One’s Match of the Day.
Regent released their latest album, ‘Beggars Belief’, earlier this year. Railing against the state of the nation, ‘Beggars Belief is a record of politics and people, love and rage, stress and peace, chances and change. Featuring the singles “Flying High”, “Liberation”, “Oh No, I Know” and title-track, “Beggars Belief” finds Regent ready to defy expectations. Taking the revolutionary spirit of their debut to the masses, Regent’s latest sees them sailing with the winds of change and making the statement of their career to date. ‘Beggars Belief’, the new album by Regent, is out now.
Standby for further news on their third album ‘The Cognitive Revolution’ soon (due for release 2025).
