After playing in other Birmingham bands for years, GANS is the result of lifelong friends, Euan Woodman and Thomas Rhodes, looking to push their own sonic boundaries.

The result is a sound that is heavy, raucous and, at times, bone-crunching, but with lyrics discussing some of the deepest challenges affecting our generation with a tenderness not often seen in this genre.

Their second single, ‘Harry’s Tune,’ showcases this duality – a self-described love song about suicide written over a driving drum beat and thunderous riff. ‘Harry’s Tune’ is a hair-raising rock song at face value, but as you tune into the lyrics you find real, raw pain: “I breathe in stale air from above a broken chair // And no longer feel the sun in the pit of cold despair.”
