“Monster To Me” – The Suncharms November 2, 2025


One of Sheffield’s finest bands, the Suncharms have returned with a new two track single featuring “Monster To Me (Halloween Version)” and “Tuesday Afternoon Séance”. The first song, “Monster In Me” is a beautifully crafted slice of indie pop rock with a sublime shoegaze overlay. At times it made me think of some of the best Beatles outtakes on the Anthology series. The brass sounds, (actually is that real brass or synth emulation?) add a moving depth to this frankly marvelous easy going song. Meanwhile “Tuesday Afternoon Séance” has a similar, but sometimes darker, musical vibe with some wonky fuzzed riffs and an ethereal vocal refrain that is reminiscent of Donovan at the height of his hippie powers. If this band is not in your life yet, then do something about it! The Suncharms have featured regularly on these pages since 2018 and I am sure they will appear more in the future too.
