Let Loose were acclaimed as the Boy Band who could actually play their instruments. They sold over a million records worldwide and had seven Top 30 hits between 1994-1997, of which three were top 10 singles. They appeared 11 times on the iconic Top Of The Pops. Their biggest hit ‘Crazy For You’ - stayed at Number 2 in the UK for weeks and became a 90’s anthem. It was only held off from the number spot by Wet Wet Wet's 'Love Is All Around'. 'Crazy For You' became one of the biggest selling singles of the 90's spending a total 21 weeks in the charts. Let Loose were named Best Newcomers of 1994 by The Sun newspaper, as well as much-missed pop magazine Smash Hits. 

 

The next chapter for Let Loose started in late August 2023. Discussions between drummer Lee Murray and guitarist Rob Jeffrey took place and they approached former Bad Boys Inc frontman Matthew James Pateman to join them as singer as former lead singer Richie Wermerling had decided to quit the industry to pursue other paths.

 

Matthew's history in music began with Bad Boys Inc who had 6 chart singles between 1993/1994 including their top ten hit ‘More To This World’. Having toured extensively around the world, Bad Boys Inc split in 1995. Matthew continued to write and perform. He had a solo deal with Capitol Records/EMI. Performed in theatre and television. Plus spent 20 years in MADHEN who were internationally known as one of the UK’s most sort after party bands. They were the chosen band for the wedding of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall. 

 

The new Let Loose line up have already written and produced two new singles. The first released in 2023 ‘If The World Was Ending’ was well received by fans and media alike. The band have also released a follow up single 'Quicksand' which was released on 26th April '24, with a promo video that you can find on VEVO/YouTube. There's more music on the way as the boys continue to write, record and produce for a possible album in 2025.

 

The band turned on the Christmas Lights in Hereford last year to a crowd of 4,000 people. 2 shows in London sold out within a few hours for this January! A total of 4 shows in London set the ball rolling in 2024. The Back2Festival at Thoresby Park, Nottinghamshire was a highlight of the year in August. Let Loose appeared alongside some other great acts including: Wet Wet Wet, Eternal, Bananarama, Five, Vengaboys, and Cascada to name but a few. Butlins dates (90's reloaded weekends) are in the diary for both this year and next.  To celebrate a great year the band will be performing at The Pheasantry in Chelsea this New Year's Eve. Link below. It will be an evening of music and celebration to bring in 2025. A three course meal - 2 glasses of bubbly all included in the price.

The band are delighted to be performing again and bringing back some 90’s nostalgia with some new songs too!
