Announced to perform at The Hills Are Alive Festival this March, exuberant Novocastrian party starters RAAVE TAPES return to pierce you in the heart with stabs. The frenzied and unpredictable new single will feature on their forthcoming EP due for release mid year.

Recorded and mixed by Fraser Marshall (Grace Turner, Fritz), the new single features bassist Lindsay O’Connell on vocals for the first time since joining the band. stabs navigates the frantic vulnerability of entering a crowded space alone.

“We’re aiming to convey the emotions that cloud your judgement in that anxiety-inducing moment. It centres on the feeling of being exposed and how it’s possible to internalise and misinterpret the glances and proverbial ‘daggers’ that get thrown your way,” – vocalist/guitarist Joab Eastley

Overflowing with RAAVE TAPES signature charm and humour, the video for stabs is a hyper Where’s Wally quest captured in their hometown of Newcastle.

stabs follows RAAVE TAPES palpitating single SUDS and 2017 breakout singles 2 U XOXO and k bye which has seen the dance-punk trio harness an army of devoted fans.
