Bristol duo Getdown Services serve up newest single ‘Cha Cha Slide’

Bristol duo Getdown Services have shared another preview of their forthcoming second album, this time in the evocatively-titled ‘Cha Cha Slide’ (but it’s not exactly what you’d expect). 

The band - who are gearing up to release ‘Massive Champion’ on 14th August via Breakfast Records - have shared another deliciously sardonic cut that is, according to the band’s Josh Law, “about the feeling of everyone else somehow knowing what to do. It’s about a feeling I’d get as a child that has never quite left me; that I just don’t really know what to do at social occasions. It’s about realising that trying to connect with and understand people is a lifetime of trial and error. It’s probably the saddest song we’ve ever written.” Watch the Minion-starring video for the track below.

The follow up to their 2023 debut ‘Crisps’ (as well as a spate of EPs: 2024’s ‘Crumbs’ and ‘Your Medal’s In The Post’; and 2025’s ‘Primordial Slot Machine’ and ‘Crumbs 2’), the band’s new full-length promises to be another expansion of the irrepressible Bristol duo’s uncynically joyful singular world.

Written between bouts of relentless touring - for which the pair, Josh Law and Ben Sadler, have become renowned - the record has been described by Getdown as a project “about self pity and realising that maybe all of the healing your inner child stuff you hear about isn’t actually total bollocks. Musically and lyrically I think it’s about us trying to clean up our act a bit.”
