Infectiously energetic, empowering and badass are some of the words used to describe the dynamic melodic alternative pop/rock force, ‘REWS’, helmed by the multi-instrumentalist, Northern Irish songstress, Shauna Tohill and a revolving cast of musical friends.

REWS exploded onto the international live circuit in 2017 with debut ‘Pyro’, released via Marshall Records, leading to critically acclaimed performances at Glastonbury Festival (John Peel Stage), Isle of Wight Festival and Boardmasters. REWS toured extensively across the UK, Europe and US, landing support for Halestorm and The Darkness as well as appearances at Mad Cool Festival (Spain), Camden Rocks (UK), Music China (Shanghai), NAMM, ‘She Rocks’ Awards (Los Angeles) and Eurosonic (Netherlands) and was nominated for Planet Rock Magazines ‘Best New Band’.

2020 saw the release of the highly anticipated sophomore album ‘Warriors’, received with relief during the global pandemic. This release solidified several high profile UK festival slots including 2000 Trees and Y Not Festival. Singles ’Birdsong', ‘Monsters’, 'Heart Is On Fire’ & ‘Today We’re Warriors’ gained international praise on radio, TV and online, including an addition to several editorial playlists such as “Fierce Femmes” on Spotify and to top it off, have soundtracked numerous sporting events across the UK, most recently for the Women’s Cricket on day-time BBC TV.

To date, REWS have amassed over 10 million streams and her music is continually championed by a number of international DJs, with great taste, on BBC Radio 1, Kerrang! Radio, Radio X, InterFM (Japan) and Radio Freccia (Italy).

REWS is building upon this success in 2022 with bangers ‘Breathe Into Me’ and "Pretty Face"; songs that have gained the extensive support of the Kerrang! Radio family and unlocked the deepest doors of Shauna's writing abilities. All 2022 records will be released via the Earache Records family.
