Black Peaks are back with their brand new single Can’t Sleep! The track, the band’s first new material in 2 years, premiered on Radio 1 Rock Show as Daniel P. Carter’s Rockest Record and is out now on new label Rise Records!

Vocalist Will Gardner explains;  “The song was written in response to a very difficult time for the band and myself personally. Since writing ‘Statues’, our political environment has seen a big shift, and some extremely xenophobic and racist comments and actions have been aired in the media, at whom a lot of the anger and fire in these lyrics is directed. Whatever your view is politically, this song deals anxiety, paranoia and insomnia, all stemming from being swept along with a decision you do not agree with.”

Bassist Dave Larkin, who joined the band in 2017, adds; “We haven’t wasted any time since I joined the band – we were straight into writing and finishing off ideas for this album and it all came together so naturally.. Getting into the studio with Ade (producer Adrian Bushby) was definitely the right decision for all of us – he has an incredible high-energy approach to producing, and was just as hyped on everything as we were. We’re all so proud of these songs – the end result is massive,  Our first shows back are going to be in May, with a few festivals and a support run with MARMOZETS which we’re over the moon about. They’re a band who we all respect, their new album is killer and we can’t think of a better way to start getting some new music out into the world.”
