HIGHDRIVE channel inner turmoil on new single ‘Something I Said’
HIGHDRIVE have released their latest single ‘Something I Said’ via Venn Records. The Brighton five-piece’s second release follows last year’s debut ‘Cherry’ and continues to establish the band within the UK alternative rock scene.
Produced by Guy Page of Coach Party, ‘Something I Said’ is a dissonant burst of alt-rock turbulence. Sheets of wailing guitar and a thick, pressurised wall of noise drive the track forward, capturing the relentless inner chatter of self-scrutiny. The song locks into a spiralling headspace of rumination and social-anxiety-fuelled tension, reflecting the band’s shared appreciation for acts such as Deftones, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and DIIV while carving out their own lane on the South Coast scene.
Vocalist Lucas Leitch explains:
“The lyrics on ‘Something I Said’ dive straight into my self-made psychosis. It taps into my paranoia of saying the wrong thing. I can be overly self-conscious, feeling stuck in my own head and overthinking every word. I wrote the song whilst playing in an old band. Deep down I knew this was going to be the start of something new – and in many ways ‘Something I Said’ became the musical blueprint for what would become HIGHDRIVE.”
‘Something I Said’ is out now via Venn Records and available to stream on all platforms.
