When Everything Changes: Linkwells Hit a New High with “For The First Time”
Music ReviewsLinkwells’ new single “For The First Time” is honest in a way that is hard to overlook. From the first notes, there’s a feeling of something real going on — not just another indie rock track, but a song with heart. The guitars have a raw edge to them, but they don’t overwhelm; instead, they set the mood for something anxious and hopeful. It’s the kind of track that brings you into its world and doesn’t ask you for permission. There’s something about the way the sound ebbs and flows — as if it’s reflecting the internal conflict of someone on the brink of something new and uncertain.

The chorus, strong and memorable, stays with you long after the song ends. It’s not loud for the sake of being loud, but purposeful and deliberate — an emotional release that ties it all together. What makes this song stand out most, though, is its rawness. Bassist Andy Dingley says it’s about those times in life when everything begins to shift — when you’re not sure what’s coming, but you do it anyway. That emotion is woven into every second of the track. You don’t need complex lyrics to make it hit hard. They’re straight to the point for anyone who’s taken a risk or started over, uncertain but hopeful.
Linkwells aren’t just making music — they’re telling stories that matter. With “For The First Time”, they’re able to be reflective without being boring, emotional without being over the top. It’s a song that sneaks up on you with each listen, revealing new layers and emotions as you go. With more shows on the horizon and growing support, this single could be the tipping point that puts Linkwells on the big map. This isn’t just a track — it’s a signal that the band is entering something bigger, and we’re all going with them.
