What if instead of the book and film Yes Man, you felt like you were always saying no, man? Ban Summers feels like the No Man - and in his new single he explains why.

Touching on chronic illness, disability and depression, No Man is his letter to friends and family on his absence and isolation.

Ban Summers homebrews lo-fi indie with all the feels from his bedroom in Portsmouth. No Man is the fourth single from his new album, which arrives before the summer.

P*ssy Power

“Pipped One Step Ahead”
The lyric is a defiant, cerebral cipher that explores the experience of being strategically outmanoeuvred—politically, militarily, and narratively. It speaks from the perspective of a side-lined voice (Ukraine, or any excluded resistance) watching its fate negotiated in summit rooms it cannot enter.
Verse 1 sets the stage: betrayal through diplomacy, exclusion from decision-making, and the haunting silence of manipulated peace.
Verse 2 flips the lens: the speaker exposes the architecture of deceit, hacking the narrative, and reclaiming agency through lyrical precision.
Verse 3 delivers the philosophical mic drop: history is a cipher, and the speaker cracks it—not with permission, but with blood, memory, and rhythm.
The hook repeats the central tension: being pipped one step ahead—but refusing to be erased. It’s a meditation on surveillance, strategic betrayal, and the power of lyrical resistance.
