'Chihuahua Power' was inspired by our dogs Andrew and Marty. Andrew is slinky, delicate and beautiful, Marty is sweaty and smells. Loyal and courageous, they are the smallest but the mightiest of dogs.  Black Salmon are brothers Edwin (9), Linus (7) and Walter (7). Black Salmon rock - watch out for your ears!

The songs opening line makes clear the need to create, to make, and the obsession of art, probably accentuated by the restrictions we've all faced over the last 18 months: “I’m in the desert making music with a stick and my soul”. The song then dissects and explores the struggle of being heard in this “desert” with some dry lyrical allusion and trademark barbs. The nagging bite of the chorus, “It’s not what you know it’s who you know and we don't know a single soul!” it at once impassioned and knowingly
mocking this self-flagellation. The bridge though turns this apparent pity-party into something else again, egging on the artist to stop “whining” and “bitching” and just make music, sculpt, paint….create! Celebrate the “fire” in you.

I Find it Hard is the latest single from Halifax-based duo, The Hazy Janes. Formed in the midst of the UK’s third COVID-19 lockdown, the band developed their latest release, and their first two singles, by exchanging voice notes between each another from their seperate homes.

From lyrics and vocal lines, to drum parts and song structure, the entire track was composed through a back-and-forth of 60 second voice notes from throughout lockdown. The result: a passionate and gut-instinct driven track straight from the soul. 

After playing their first shows across north in summer 2021, the band returned to Young Thugs Studios in York in October to lay down their new single; the duo recorded the track live in one take to capture the energy and electricity of these live performances.

Driven by the vocals of their frontman, Ellis Best, the track oozes raw emotion and untamed passion, with a slide guitar which mirrors the raunchy intent of the vocals. With dynamics at its core, the drum part of Bron Bury steers the ship steady from calmness to eventual avalanche, helping to craft the Halifax duo’s most vibrant and vulnerable release yet.
