THE WILD THINGS KNOCK DOWN, DRAG OUT
UK rock band The Wild Things have released their new single, ‘Knock Down, Drag Out’. It’s a propulsive piece of pop-rock filled with irresistible hooks that take influence from Kate Bush’s unique delivery. The accompaniment is centred on shimmering, jangling guitars and a deep bass line that rumbles beneath a deceptively playful top line. The track is accompanied by a hazy, colourful music video, directed by guitarist Rob Kendrick and Marcus Maschwitz, that puts the dancing band in front of a coastal backdrop. The band are playing live around the UK in September 2025. -Dan Peeke
