Down in Brighton, Gaffa Tape Sandy are keeping the garage-punk-rock flame burning brightly and on latest single ‘Split’ they’ve distilled the whole primal, sweaty, exhilarating experience of their live gigs into a succinct two minute ferocious cracker of a track that’s all incendiary, scratchy guitars and fierce melody.
Guitarist Kim Jarvis and bassist Catherine Lindley-Neilson duel it out in barked vocals on the record’s chorus with the insistent command to “Find out what they want then split”, letting the remainder of the song descend into an effervescent mass of perky rhythm and delinquent-spirited energy. Simply a gleefully punkish pogo-er’s dream.
‘Split’ was produced by George Perks (Wargasm, Enter Shikari, Skindred) and released via the legendary Alcopop! records on 28th November 2023. You can take a listen on Spotify at the link below:
