The music industry has been lacking the joys of GURT’s music since 2019, but now, they’re coming back with all guns blazing, and have released their new single, ‘Knife Fever’, alongside an announcement of their new album, Satan etc, to be released on June 7.
Speaking on the influences and inspiration behind Satan etc, Gareth Kelly (vocals) comments, “It’s about survival in the very fucked up world we live in, but of course delivered in the band’s tongue-in-cheek style.” Bill Jacobs (drums) adds, “We wanted shorter, punchier songs to go with the new aggro vibe, nothing to do with us being older and fatter.”
Frustration builds up, especially after five years, and when four people combine this frustration, you get ‘Knife Fever’. GURT’s pent-up emotions fuel their new single, and hand over a glimpse into Satan etc, through explosive music and aggressive vocals.
On ‘Knife Fever’, Kelly shares, “This song is simply about the sheer incompetence of the geriatric surgeon that operated on me, and best of all it was a fucking vasectomy! Simply harrowing, so much so, I wrote him a love letter in this song!”
