Dublin-born, London-based industrial noise pop trio TAYNE will release their debut album Love January 31st, 2025 via Inside Job/MNRK!
In advance of the record’s release, today the band unveils stadium anthem, “Fear,” a big, aggressive track, channeling a Nine Inch Nails/Boy Harsher vibe featuring one of the most important UK heavy bands of their generation and fellow MNRK labelmates, Rolo Tomassi.
“Sonically speaking, it’s a track that purely felt like we were serving the song,” explains TAYNE frontman Matt Sutton, “‘Fear’ is self-explanatory. It deals with being afraid, letting fear dominate our choices in life, being consumed by it, or letting it win.”
Rolo Tomassi’s James Spence adds, “After my first time seeing and feeling the energy of TAYNE’s live show, I was immediately a fan. The band combines what I love about heavy and electronic music with visceral, heavy beat driven songs that are still laden with hooks. I was thrilled to be asked to be a part of this track.”
“Fear” is the final video in a trilogy leading the visual narrative throughout the music directed by Leif Johnson, a member of London based video collective NEWD.
Sutton adds, “Act 3 is simple and to the point: empowerment, acceptance and celebration. ‘Fear’ is such a Big Question song; it pokes the beast but never offers a resolution. We just wanted people to embrace themselves; to ‘be free’ as Gaga says and be strong and powerful with no fucks given to anyone. Thematically, I always thought this song could be interpreted as a negative one, so I’m really glad the video delivers a more positive answer to the hard question of the track. In this case and very much in my Dad’s case, ‘No,’ we won’t be consumed by ‘Fear.’”
