Swansea indie rock band Subterrania have premiered their new single “Knows Me Too Well“.
Fronted by Dylan Cai, Fin Roach on guitar, Jamie Tooze on bass, and Luis Hancock on drums, Subterrania have stormed their way across the new music scene in 2023 with their electric riffs and relatable tales set to super catchy, infectious melodies.
To date the band have released two singles, ‘Shine’ and ‘Benidorm’, both of which received critical acclaim across the globe. The band are now back with their first release of 2024.
‘Knows Me Too Well’ is just over 4 ½ minutes of blistering guitar solos and frenzied drumming, with mighty Madchester-inspired lyricism that manages to feel entirely fresh but with a nostalgic nod to that great era in music.
The track bobs and weaves along at a decidedly rousing fast pace, pausing briefly here and there only to allow the effect of the vocals to take their rightful place centre stage. The chanting chorus hook lines in the mid-section are simply made for festival mosh pits and we can see this track going down an absolute storm with revellers this summer season.
The band have said of the track:
“‘Writing Knows Me Too Well’ in collaboration with the rest of the band, came from a shared sentiment all of us in Subterrania have experienced at some stage. We wanted the track to resonate with the challenges encountered by so many performers, and to reflect on moments where our openness and trust in and outside of the music scene could have been abused. The track is like a reminder of how our relationships with friends, family, and ourselves are constantly under a magnifying glass with our hands often being the ones to hold it. It’s a reflection of the myriad challenges humans face on a daily basis and shines an unpolished light on self doubt, anxiety and uncertainty for the future; where making a muse even out of the bad stuff is the smartest way forward. “
