Aberdeen-via-Brighton alt-pop-rock trio, THE XCERTS have announced their signing to UNFD alongside their new single, “GIMME“. The new track marks the beginning of a new chapter for the band, hitting the ground running with chop-cut guitars, urgent vocals, and explosive production. The track is accompanied by a video directed by Zak Pinchin. Watch it now below.
On writing the track, the band said, “It’s been too long since we last released new music and we wanted to reintroduce ourselves with a rebirth of sorts. ‘GIMME’ is our most bombastic piece of work, sonically and musically, so it felt like the perfect introduction to the new era. Unapologetically in your face and written with complete artistic freedom. Lyrically, it’s more observational than gut-wrenchingly personal; when burning desire meets apathy, it’s both comical and pitiful, which makes for one hell of a scene.”
In addition to the single, THE XCERTS have signed a multi-album, worldwide record contract with Australian independent label UNFD. On the signing, frontman Murray Macleod commented; “We’re over the moon to have joined the UNFD family. It’s perhaps the first time in our career we have signed with a label who are as passionate about the band as we are. We feel very fortunate to be taken on by such a brilliant and versatile company this deep into our career.”
Stay tuned for more coming soon from THE XCERTS.
