Burnt Tapes pays tribute in new song

Posted in MP3s on October 14, 2023

Burnt Tapes is back with their first new music in nearly three years, a song called "Little Sister" a personal story about family, depression, and more. 

"'Little Sister' is our first song in almost 3 years. It's a song set to the backdrop of the 2021 COVID lockdowns and tells a very personal tale of loneliness, depression, and family. At a stage where helplessness had taken over and the end was near in my head, my little sister was there for me, took me in, and saved me in many ways. So the song is a tribute to her, to all those close to us who have been there when the days were dark, and a reminder that we don't have to and should never suffer in silence," says vocalist/guitarist Phil L.

The UK-based band will play at FEST 21 later this month. The new single comes courtesy of Wiretap Records (US) and Lockjaw Records (UK/EU).
