VIDEO PREMIERE: Hana Piranha – ‘Waiting To Burn’

Bewitching vocals and moody monochrome visuals collide on Hana Piranha‘s new video for ‘Waiting To Burn’ premiering exclusively today on Get In Her Ears. Released via Fourglove Records on 17th May, the new song is a “carefully balanced mix of subtle strings, heavy guitar riffs” and compelling lyrics.

The single is the title track of the band’s latest album and the accompanying video was shot and directed by filmmaker and long-term collaborator Arron West. Frontwoman Hana Mari is the daughter of a Catholic priest who was born during a hurricane; so it’s no surprise her songwriting and the band’s aesthetic are turbulent and prophetic.

Formed of Jim Beck (guitar), Daniel Tompkins (bass), Andrew Lane (drums), and multi-instrumentalist Hana, the band work together to create a sound inspired by Bach, Nine Inch Nails and everything in between. They’ll be touring their new album in September, so keep your eyes peeled for updates on cities and venues.

Track Of The Day: Nova Twins – ‘Hit Girl’

Nova Twins were already on our ‘Hitlist’ after we reviewed their knockout EP Mood Swings last year, but with the release of new single ‘Hit Girl’ they’ve rocketed right back to the top of it.

Accompanied by a sleek monochrome video, ‘Hit Girl’ seethes with Nova Twins’ trademark lethal attitude and deviously distorted bass lines. “I’m just a girl / I’m feeling hostile” snarls guitarist & vocalist Amy, a line that resonates as deeply as Georgia’s thundering bass lines. The pair want to show the world that women – particularly women of colour – are not going to be overlooked in music anymore.

When speaking to AFROPUNK, the girls explained: “We wanted to kill people’s perception of what a rock act – and women in music – should look like/sound like! Women of colour still get pigeon-holed into genre specifics, like R&B or Hip Hop, and although we are amazing at performing these genres, we also pioneered a lot of other things too.”

With their defiant new single and existing dedication to challenging industry norms, Nova Twins have us riled and ready for more ferocious new music in 2018. Watch the video for ‘Hit Girl’ below and get your tickets for their headline gig at The Victoria on 24th May here (tickets are also available on DICE)
