Irish hardcore duo Spearside have revealed their new track, ‘Couldn’t Be Told’. It’s a frenzied self-produced single full of life and energy, channelling their punk influences into their world of pummelling drums, distortion-laden guitars and gruff, shouted vocals. They say the song “is ultimately about trying to learn from others’ mistakes. We also want to counter that with some positive references to our childhood. Times where you look back and are grateful for guidance you got whether or not you wanted it in the moment. Our Mam would always sing “It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to” at us when we were throwing strops as kids. Definitely an unorthodox disciplinary technique but it worked.” The track is taken from their upcoming new EP, also titled Couldn’t Be Told, which drops on October 22nd, 2025. -Dan Peeke
