‘Little Wins’ is one of LA-based trio Cuffed Up’s two new singles. It’s a punchy cut that shines a light on their strand of modern rock, which includes a particular influence from current UK post-punk revival bands, such as Shame. “We all set really unhealthy definitions of what “success” is supposed to look like, constantly comparing ourselves to others,” they say, on the track and its accompanying music video. “We start our own little businesses or throw ourselves into a career with really high expectations only to be met by what we think is “failure” but it’s really not that. It’s the lack of grace that we give ourselves because social media has trained us to compare each other’s worth, glorifying the rat race of life rather than practicing gratitude. Little Wins is about focusing less on the losses and more on the baby steps that have brought us the success that we have now.” Check out ‘Love Is…’ the second of Cuffed Up’s new singles, which demonstrates the other, more meditative side of their unique sound. -Dan Peeke
