Fools & Sages

Old Souls, New Fire: This is Fools & Sages
Emerging from the heart of Derbyshire, Fools & Sages channel the soul of ‘70s rock through the lens of modern hard rock, crafting a sound that’s both timeless and fiercely original. Fronted by Connor Botherway-Hill and Grace Leah, the band blends bold guitar work, commanding dual vocals, and poetic lyricism.

Their debut single, Bittersweet, delivered a haunting meditation on love and longing. Built on ambient textures and soaring vocals, the track explores emotional unrest with intensity and grace, creating an ethereal yet grounded sound. Paired with a self-directed cinematic music video, Bittersweet landed as a bold statement, described as an “unforgettable introduction”.

Fools & Sages’ latest single, Always, captures the emotional surge of self-discovery—honest, expansive, charged with intent, and evoking that open‑road feeling of freedom. Now, with new material on the horizon, they're leaning into a heavier sound while holding onto the cinematic core that defines them. This is music for the dreamers, the screamers, the riff‑lovers, and anyone who still believes that rock isn’t dead—it’s just getting louder.
