Formerly known as Foundlings, Brighton/London quartet, Hadda Be, prepare for the release of their debut album, Another Life, and the first examples off it thus far balance steadily between grungy, guitar-laden indie rock and ferocious post punk.
New single, Wait in the Dark, presents the band's punchier demeanor, and it comes through rather keen and dark-bent, pushing Hadda Be's indie nuance through more forcible and animated practises.
"Wait in the Dark is a direct and visceral reaction to the turbulent political and cultural times we find ourselves in," the band describe. "There’s a lot of anger and passion in this song. It felt liberating to have a moment on the album where we really let loose, not allowing ourselves to be wrapped up in analytical posturing. Like with our first ever single, Misery, the track started off with a bass line and everything else was built up from there. We’re particularly excited about getting this one out on the road."
The music video which accompanies Wait in the Dark was filmed remotely during lockdown in January 2021, and it was directed by Chris Tomsett (aka Innerstrings).
