TINA SANDWICH is back and in exhilarating form on her new single ‘Sick Girl’.
Following on from last year’s ‘Up All Night’ and ‘Fast Cars (and Movie Stars)’, the new track marks her first release of 2023 – and we’re pleased to report it has been worth the wait.
‘Sick Girl’ is a glorious slice of pop punk – packed full of sugary melodies, early noughties nostalgia and hooks galore. As ever, Tina’s charismatic vocals and addictive choruses are star of the show, but the track is elevated even further by Blair Crichton’s production, littered with gems throughout – from the layered vocals to guitar delays. A thrilling return, it’s the sound of young reckless abandon.
Interestingly, it’s also the first song that the singer wrote with her band – and can therefore be credited for setting the blueprint for what was to come.
Tina said: “Sick Girl is Mean Girls’ burn book set to music. Full of sugary, teenage naivety, it looks at the things people say about each other and plays with the silly irrelevance of it all. The song’s artwork features a defaced yearbook page, encapsulating its tongue in cheek nature in just a few scribbles.
“It was the first song I wrote with my band as we are now. We actually played it live for the first time at Tenement Trail last year! We had so much fun with Blair in the studio, bringing it to life with loads of audio candy as he calls it. I wanted it to sound like the song that would play in the climactic scene of a teen movie/rom com in 2006. It’s the most excited I’ve ever been to put a song out.”
Tina Sandwich plays a sold out show at the Old Hairdressers on Monday 1st May to launch the single.
