Only Real: Days In The City EP Released 7th October Luv Luv Luv
‘Rep Real’ Party – August 31st
Only Real, aka young west Londoner Niall Galvin, returns with the ‘Days In The City’ EP, released via Luv Luv Luv on 7th October.
‘Days In The City’ is the debut EP from Only Real. It’s a small collection of songs about the ups and downs of 22 years or 8035.33 days floating around West London. It was written and demoed in a tiny bedroom on a laptop without an “f” key and a semi out of tune guitar.

Along with this, Only Real will be throwing a party at Mau Mau on Portobello Road in West London on 31st August, featuring live performances from Only Real and Tuesday Born and a DJ set from Childhood.
Only Real was first noticed following tracks such as ‘Cinnamon Toast’ and ‘Cadillac Girl’ which captured the attention of many with their combination of clever rhymes and catchy choruses, delivered in Niall’s distinctly gravelly voice to the backdrop of soulful harmonies and jangly pop. He followed this up with his debut single ‘Backseat Kissers’, a track which combined his distinctively carefree rap and soulful vocals through lush 90’s-inflicted pop.
