THIS HOUSE WE BUILT



Scarborough rockers This House We Built continue their momentum with the release of Desires, the sixth single taken from their second album Get Out Of The Rain, released last November to outstanding reviews across the rock press.

Classic Rock Magazine awarding the album an impressive 9/10 and calling it:

“Songs that are hummable, emotive, memorable and fresh” Meanwhile, Rock N Load gave the record a perfect 10/10, declaring “Please do not sleep on this one, it’s brilliant”

Desires showcases another side of the band’s songwriting while maintaining the powerful hard rock edge that has become their trademark. The track evolved organically in the studio, with each member helping shape the final version.





Vocalist and guitarist Scott Wardell says about the track:


“This one was an ‘all hands-on deck’ job, I had put it together for the band as a demo but i wasn’t 100% sure of the chorus. It came to life when we kicked it around in the studio. Dave Boothroyd again put his magic twist on things and Wayne came up with some incredible bass riffage throughout the verses of the song, doing this ‘on the spot’ as he does.

Desires has a different vibe to it, and I really like this, it was a challenge, as were all the songs. We wanted to have another album of different styles of songs but keep the heavy undertone, we hope you like this one”

Following a hugely successful run of shows, the band are set to continue their rise throughout 2026 with festival appearances and headline dates across the UK. Tour Dates will be announced soon.

With Get Out Of The Rain continuing to gather momentum Classic Rock Magazine may have summed the band up best when they said


“This House We Built are simply a great rock band, with even better songs”
