The track is the latest to be lifted from their&nbsp;forthcoming&nbsp;new album&nbsp;\u2018Hold My Hand, God Damn It\u2019 set for release&nbsp;on&nbsp;May 31st, 2024&nbsp;via&nbsp;Alcopop! Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside the new single, the trio have announced they will perform at&nbsp;Latitude Festival&nbsp;this summer, along with a new pair of&nbsp;in-store appearances&nbsp;at Resident Records&nbsp;and&nbsp;Banquet Records&nbsp;(see below for full listings).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following on from album track <em>Split<\/em> in late 2023 and lead single <em>Scrapbook<\/em> released earlier this year, the new material has so far picked up radio support from&nbsp;BBC 6music, BBC introducing, John Kennedy&nbsp;at&nbsp;Radio X,&nbsp;Total Rock, Amazing Radio, and more, with the band welcomed enthusiastically back by alternative tastemakers at&nbsp;101 Part Time Jobs, Noizze, The Punk Site, Bring The Noise UK&nbsp;and more, plus&nbsp;Spotify&nbsp;editorial support on the&nbsp;<strong>All <\/strong>New<strong> <\/strong>Punk and&nbsp;The Punk List&nbsp;playlists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on the new single, the band said:\u00a0<em>\u201cWe put this song together in what felt like seconds! Some songwriters would call it a \u2018sneeze\u2019. Certain songs come together quickly for Gaffa Tape Sandy, and others take months (or years!) to get right. The song takes lyrical ideas and tone from revenge films\u2026 we like to think of this song as a throwback to our first EP called \u201cSpring Killing\u201d, which had similar inspirations. It\u2019s jagged, characteristic and sounds exactly like the slice of garage punk that we\u2019ve tried to carve out for ourselves as a band.\u201d<\/em> Listen to <em>Dead To Me<\/em> via YouTube below or stream it <a href=\"https:\/\/bfan.link\/dead-to-me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8ZnAHIjOj7Y?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Gaffa Tape Sandy wrote forthcoming new record\u00a0\u2018Hold My Hand, God Damn It\u2019\u00a0nervously together as the world slowly emerged from the first COVID-19 lockdown. The album writing process proved difficult, as a myriad of anxiety and personal relationship issues plagued the trio. The band was battling post-COVID mental health problems and employment issues, all while Catherine and Kim were trying to navigate recent breakups that coincided with their first UK headline tour in March 2020, just before the pandemic struck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, the band persisted, and adopted a more cooperative writing method that made the songwriting process for&nbsp;\u2018Hold My Hand, God Damn It\u2019&nbsp;a revitalising experience, rather than a debilitating challenge. Rehearsals that started out as somewhat difficult became more like bonding sessions, and the friendships within the band started to flourish. The theme of the album quickly materialised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recorded and produced by&nbsp;George Perks&nbsp;(Wargasm, Enter Shikari, Skindred) at the legendary Vada Studios in the countryside surrounding Birmingham, UK, the album was made by three friends with boundless love and affection towards one another, who pulled together and preserved their musical output and friendship, despite the odds. As such,&nbsp;Hold \u2018My Hand, God Damn It\u2019 is a frustrated-yet-compassionate, cathartic celebration of friendship and reconciliation in difficult times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/41E237BF-C02D-45B6-B1D0-E118DD5A80B2.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1015\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/41E237BF-C02D-45B6-B1D0-E118DD5A80B2-1024x1015.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1015\" alt=\"Gaffa Tape Sandy Hold My Hand, God Damn It cover artwork \" class=\"wp-image-40344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/41E237BF-C02D-45B6-B1D0-E118DD5A80B2.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1015&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/41E237BF-C02D-45B6-B1D0-E118DD5A80B2.jpeg?resize=300%2C297&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/41E237BF-C02D-45B6-B1D0-E118DD5A80B2.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/41E237BF-C02D-45B6-B1D0-E118DD5A80B2.jpeg?resize=768%2C761&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/41E237BF-C02D-45B6-B1D0-E118DD5A80B2.jpeg?w=1112&amp;ssl=1 1112w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018<strong>Hold My Hand, God Damn It\u2019&nbsp;track-list<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
