Sheffield’s (UK) pop-rock connoisseurs Skyracer have released the new, attention grabbing and 90’s nostalgia-fuelled pop rock track ‘We’ve Been Alive‘ on the 1st of August, 2025, as a self-release.
“Marking our third single release to date, this hook-heavy track is a cinematic coming-of-age story about growing up, growing apart and the people and places that shaped us.”
With big driving guitars, synth arrangements and heart-on-sleeve lyrics, ‘We’ve Been Alive‘ is for anyone who still gets haunted by old mix tapes and memories that hit out of nowhere.
“Imagine Boys Like Girls meets The Midnight at the end of a John Hughes movie.”
Dan Fox and Chris Brayshaw are the production and song-writing force behind SKYRACER.
The South Yorkshire duo are gearing up for UK tour dates this December, along with dropping a cassette and trading card bundle to go with the release.
“SKYRACER is all about holding on to your youth – even when the world has moved on.”
Earlier on in 2025 these Britts had already released the singles ‘Under The Lights‘ and the debut ‘Howling‘.
‘Under The Lights‘ is a cinematic, 90’s pop rock inspired love song set in New York City, capturing the thrill of new romance and the moment it just ‘clicks‘.
“The song channels the nostalgic rush of staying up all night, riding the emotional high of mutual connection and feeling like your living in your own coming -of -age movie.”
The song is influenced by artists such as Boys Like Girls, The 1975, Busted and The Midnight, the new offering blends shimmering synths, big chorus hooks and emotional lyricism to soundtrack the essence of love at first sight.
‘Howling‘ is a hook-laden single, which tells the story of long-lost love and instances that live forever in memory.
Inspired by travels through Southeast Asia and childhood moments racing the sun, the track blends shining synths and driving guitars, channelling the emotion of Boys Like Girls and the neon glow and nostalgia of The Midnight.
As already mentioned ‘Howling‘ was the debut release from an exciting new project deeply rooted in friendship, ritual and capturing the magic and pain of growing up in the 90’s.
All songs are clean/no swearing.
Formed in Sheffield by two lifelong friends who hang, cook, write and record together every week, Skyracer is the brainchild of producers Daniel Fox (Vox) and Chris Brayshaw (Guitar) who blend 90’s pop-punk energy with retro synth textures, cinematic storytelling and the emotion of a midnight voicemail you never sent.
Skyracer captures that fleeting feeling of being young, free and on the edge of something that can’t be named yet.
