The Lethargics bring a warm, rootsy feel to their latest single “Used To Be”. Released on April 10, 2026, the track fits nicely with the band’s description of their sound as “Hillbilly Soul”, drawing from the rock, country, blues and soul influences that have shaped their music. There is an easygoing quality to “Used To Be” that makes it enjoyable from the first listen. The Lethargics do not seem interested in making the song feel overly polished or complicated. Their approach feels much more natural, with the guitars and vocals giving the track a lived-in character that suits the band’s style.
The song also fits well alongside the music The Lethargics have released in recent years. Their 2024 EP “Southern Living” brought together elements of rock, country and soul, while the 2025 single “Here It Comes Again” showed another side of their songwriting and guitar-driven sound. “Used To Be” feels like a natural continuation of that work while still having its own identity. I really enjoyed the relaxed character of this single. It has the kind of sound that feels comfortable without becoming forgettable, and I found myself wanting to hear it again after the first play.
At just over four minutes, “Used To Be” gives the band plenty of space to settle into the song without making it feel too long. It would fit easily into a roots-rock, Americana or country-rock playlist, especially for listeners who enjoy music with a more traditional feel and plenty of personality. If you are discovering The Lethargics for the first time, “Used To Be” is worth adding to your listening list. Follow the band on your favorite music platform so you can keep up with what they release next, and make sure to add this single to your playlist if you enjoy its warm, guitar-led sound. There is also plenty more in their catalog to explore, so one listen to “Used To Be” can easily lead you toward their earlier singles, EPs and albums.
