RedHook are bringing saxophones to the circle pit with their party rock anthem ‘Breaking Up With’.
The joyous new track explores the idea of letting go of self-sabotaging thoughts and self-destructive behaviour, serving as an antithesis to the band’s 2021 single ‘Bad Decisions’.
As vocalist Emmy Mack has explained:
“Rather than revelling in being a total piece of shit, this one is about breaking that cycle of self-hate, forgiving your past mistakes, and just deciding to be bloody kinder to yourself.
Lyrically, it takes the piss out of break-up cliches to signify ending that toxic relationship (with, you know, yourself) and starting fresh. I hope everyone who vibed with ‘Bad Decisions’ will also be shaking their hips in the moshpit to this one.”
Have a listen to the singalong track via the outrageous wrestling-themed video below, studded with superstars from Pro Wrestling Australia.
Speaking on the video, Emmy has also said:
“Last year, I was lucky enough to live out my WWE Attitude Era dreams at Sydney’s PWA Colosseum event, so I figured – why not throw the party inside a wrestling ring and get a bunch of my PWA superstar mates involved?
The shoot was bloody insane. I got to bust a hurricanrana on myself in the perfect visual metaphor for laying the smackdown on all of my toxic traits once and for all – RedHook 3:16 says I just whooped my own ass!”
The track follows a huge 2023 for the band, after they supported legendary The Smashing Pumpkins and Jane’s Addiction in their homeland of Australia, before going on to a largely sold-out headline tour of their own.
They also supported Stand Atlantic across the UK and Europe – their third time touring the continent.
‘Breaking Up With’, and recently released tracks ‘Scream 2’ and ‘Tourist’ are the first tastes of a larger release said to be announced in the coming months.
