It’s the Cardiff quintet’s first release since the arrival of their self-titled debut LP last summer.

Panic Shack return with blistering new single 'grin & bear it'

Raucous Welsh outfit Panic Shack are back with ‘grin & bear it’, a pulls-no-punches new track that opens the band’s next chapter, following up the release of their eponymous debut full-length last year. 

Produced by Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys, Amyl & the Sniffers, Yard Act), this latest single finds the five-piece on scorching form, with vocalist Sarah Harvey spitting scathing lyrics decrying the modern struggle to simply exist over a foundation of furious guitars.

The band have described ‘grin & bear it’ as “a song that we’ve felt really passionate about getting right”, explaining that “the music was never fully hitting.” They continue: “We reworked it from the start of the year in any spare time we had around working our jobs and gigging (as we almost always do), which really helped to emphasise the songs meaning.”

Check out the track’s equally chaotic video and revisit our review of ‘Panic Shack’ below.
