Talk Show have shared their phenomenal new single 'Stress'.
Clash met the band late last year for a sit-down chat, and came away entranced by their quiet intensity.
Debut EP 'These People' lands on March 27th, with the four-piece ready to usher out their latest creation.
Pitched somewhere between the caustic power of Bauhaus and the grandeur of Echo & The Bunnymen, 'Stress' is a riveting piece of post-punk.
Concise, precise, and driven by a rare sense of purpose, it's got something Talk Show brand "a lot of heart and a larger than life attitude…"
Frontman Harrison Swann comments: "It’s a song about modern love with its emotions and lyrics, worn proudly on its sleeves. Instantly it felt natural to play ‘Stress’ as large and as loud as we possibly could. Musically we wanted to compliment the forthright nature of the lyrics with a grandiose rhythm section."
"We tried to juxtapose the negative connotations of the song’s title, with music that was bold and had a lot of attitude, not something that was insular or timid. The first time we ever played that song, I remember it feeling like it had a life of it’s own, it really wanted to burst out of the basement we were in."
Tune in now.
