Rising UK stars Ward Thomas (24-year-old twin sisters Catherine and Lizzy) begin 2019 by setting themselves and their fans the New Year’s Resolution challenge of taking time away from social media every Sunday on what is called #NoScrollSunday.

The girls who have been outspoken on the subject of mental health and social media, which is a topic they also tackled on their upcoming album Restless Minds (Out Feb 1st) set the task to remove themselves from the addiction of scrolling to help with their peace of mind and creative process, whilst encouraging others to do the same.

Speaking about the challenge Catherine said,
After experiencing our own levels of anxiety through our constant use of social media and the addiction to scrolling, we drew on these feelings in some of our new songs and consequently feel that it is important to practice what we preach. Sometimes we have felt time just slips by as we are mindlessly scrolling, when instead we could have picked up our guitar, we could have gone for a walk, we could have sat in that moment and come up with a song idea.
