The Kut’s Sevens: A Euphoric Summer Anthem Redefining Rock

18 June 2025 rocknews

British multi-instrumentalist The Kut is back with a bold new single, Sevens, dropping June 20, 2025, via Criminal Records. Fresh off her chart-topping rock album GRIT, which hit #1 on the UK Rock Album chart, The Kut is pushing boundaries with a track that fuses euphoric electronic house with gritty rock basslines. Described as “sonically soaring and expansive,” Sevens captures the electric vibe of a summer festival, marking a thrilling evolution in her genre-spanning sound.

A New Chapter for The Kut

Sevens isn’t just a single—it’s a statement. The track ventures into uncharted territory for The Kut, blending her punk-pop swagger with uplifting electronic elements. Fans of her raw, independent spirit, as heard in GRIT’s empowering anthems like ANIMO and And 1 More, will find Sevens both familiar and refreshingly bold. Released under her own Criminal Records label, the single hints at a new chapter, testing the waters for what’s next in her dynamic career.

The Kut, a double UK Songwriting Contest winner, has built a reputation for delivering high-energy performances and authentic storytelling. Classic Rock praised her as a “refreshing blast of female-driven punk-pop swagger,” and Sevens doubles down on that energy, crafted to ignite festival stages this summer.

Summer Festival Takeover

The Sevens release coincides with a packed festival schedule, where The Kut will bring her electrifying live show to some of the UK’s biggest stages:

June 15, 2025: Nottingham Independent Label Market @ Rough Trade (Daytime)
June 22, 2025: Isle of Wight Festival, River Stage
June 28-29, 2025: Glastonbury Festival, Mandala Stage
July 27, 2025: Wakefield Clarence Shockwaves Festival
August 3, 2025: Chepstow Green Gathering

Her live performances are legendary, with critics raving about her ability to command a crowd. “The Kut’s performance at the O2 Islington Academy was nothing short of a rock spectacle,” wrote Icaptureconcerts, while Rock Regeneration called her set at Barnstomper “one of the best of the weekend.” Having toured ten countries and supported acts like Electric Six, Shonen Knife, and Danko Jones, The Kut is poised to steal the show at these festivals.

The Sound of Sevens

Sevens is a sonic journey, blending driving rock bass with euphoric electronic house beats. It’s a track that feels like dancing under festival lights, with a melody that soars and a rhythm that pulses. The Kut’s multi-instrumental prowess shines through, showcasing her ability to craft music that’s both innovative and deeply rooted in her rock origins. The single’s ISRC (GBPQF2500027) and pre-save link (lnk.to/thekutsevens) are already generating buzz among fans eager for its release.

Why The Kut Stands Out

The Kut’s journey as an independent artist is one of resilience and raw talent. Her second album, GRIT, told the story of the “hard miles” she’s traveled, resonating with fans and critics alike. Devolution described her as “a force of nature who sweeps across the stage like a tornado,” while Punktuation noted, “These ladies certainly know how to get the room jumping!” Her all-star collective brings unmatched energy, making every show a must-see event.

With Sevens, The Kut is not just keeping up with the music scene—she’s redefining it. By blending genres and staying true to her independent roots, she’s carving a path that’s uniquely her own. As Rock News put it, “If you ever get the chance to see The Kut live, my advice is simple: don’t miss it.”
