Gaffa Tape Sandy's utterly irresistible “Headlights” carries an important mental health message
Bury St Edmunds trio Gaffa Tape Sandy's “Headlights” is three minutes of button-bright garage-pop-rock, and its unashamed optimism is matched only by the importance of the reminder it carries.
While the number of those affected by mental health continues to rise across the UK, so too do the number of people talking about it, and Gaffa Tape Sandy are a band that are putting their weight behind this message.
They describe their latest track as an “open embrace to anyone who finds it hard to talk about their mental health, and to serve as a reminder to check up on your loved ones in this busy stupid world.”
“We wanted the back-and-forth vocal play to feel and sound like a conversation,” the band says, “a playful way of communicating a message that we believe in. It’s important to be lovely to one another, and the people who have been lovely to us are the people who inspired this song.”
“Headlights” is the first track to be taken from the band’s forthcoming EP, and its catchy riffs, playful melodies and spirited pop-punk energy show we're in for more excitement later in the year.
