Buckle up, grease your gears, London N1’s own gutter-poet prophet Tom Minor is back, and he’s swinging for the fences with his latest seismic single, “Change It!”. Dropping on Boxing Day via Overreaction Records, this is a vintage soul-drenched indie rock riot designed to shake the apathy right out of your bones.
Minor is no fresh-faced rookie. “Change It!” is a call-to-arms for anyone staring down the barrel of their own unrealized potential, a fist-pumping declaration that it’s not over until you say it is. The production, helmed by the ominously cool Teaboy Palmer(The Basher of Belsize Park), is all muscle and grit, providing the perfect gritty bedrock. And let’s give a shout to Johnny Dalston on guitar, whose work here is the razor-wire slicing through the track’s drive.
This track is the raging preamble to Minor’s sophomore album, Ten New Toe-Tappers for Shoplifting & Self-Mutilation (due 2026), bookended by last year’s “Future Is an F Word.” It’s a statement of intent, louder and brasher than anything before. The vibe is desperate and gloriously defiant. It’s the sound of pulling the stop gates open once and for all, of facing down the existential FOMO of modern life and deciding to fight back.
So, what’s the music about? It’s the musical equivalent of a clenched fist and a weary but determined smile. It’s about the furious, frustrating, and fundamentally human desire to tear down the crumbling edifices of a boring life and “switch on the sun.” Minor isn’t simply singing about change; he’s orchestrating a personal revolution, and the contagious energy makes you want to start your own.
“Change It!” is a dose of dirty, smart, soulful rock, and it absolutely refuses to be ignored. Tom Minor is hitting his stride with the confidence of a streetfighter and the soul of a poet. Pre-save it, play it loud, and get ready to change your own damn game. The future might be an F word, but today, with this track blasting, it feels like anything is possible. Bring on the album.
