Joshua Grant – Gemini (2025)
If you’ve been on the hunt for a song that grips you by the collar and shouts straight into your soul, look no further than Joshua Grant’s latest offering ‘Gemini’. The Scottish alt-rock artist is proving that he’s not just a name to watch but a force to be reckoned with, delivering a track that is equal parts ferocious and vulnerable – a hallmark of truly great rock music.
For fans of Bring Me The Horizon, Fall Out Boy, STONE, and Taking Back Sunday, ‘Gemini’ feels like coming home to a sound you love while discovering something thrillingly new. The track showcases Grant’s knack for blending the raw, emotional grit of pop-punk with soaring alt-rock melodies, a recipe that screams catharsis.
Produced by Al Groves – whose magic touch graced Bring Me The Horizon’s ‘That’s The Spirit’ – ’Gemini’ has a glossy polish without losing its bite. The production is clean yet explosive, allowing Grant’s emotive vocals to sit front and centre while a tidal wave of guitars and drums crash behind him. The result? A track that doesn’t just talk about heartbreak but makes you feel it in your bones.
Thematically, ‘Gemini’ dives headfirst into the double-edged pain of a breakup, as there’s the immediate sting of knowing the relationship is over, but then there’s the slower, deeper ache of realising the person you loved is truly gone. These twin realities of heartbreak are mirrored in the song’s dynamic structure, which oscillates between moments of introspective calm and full-throttle emotional release.
Grant’s ability to channel such raw emotion is what sets him apart in the alt-rock scene. His voice, both defiant and aching, carries the weight of the lyrics beautifully, while the instrumentation provides a cinematic backdrop. There’s a palpable sense of urgency in the track, as though the pain he’s singing about is still fresh.
Unapologetically authentic, ‘Gemini’ is a breakup anthem that doesn’t just wallow, it rises from the ashes with fists clenched. Joshua Grant is an artist who knows how to turn personal pain into something universal, and this track is proof that his star is only going to burn brighter.
For those who’ve been keeping an eye on Grant, ‘Gemini’ is the perfect follow-up to his previous singles, ‘Someone New’ and ‘Locked Doors, Empty Home’. With his upcoming EP, Polaroid, on the horizon, it’s clear that Grant is only just getting started.
