Hairpin Return With New Single “Framing”

Hairpin have returned with their new single, Framing that is out now through Bandcamp and streaming platforms, the track is the band’s first single in over a year and is also the first to feature Callan Milward on drums. Framing leans toward the band’s hardcore influences, while still anchored by the power pop sensibility found on their debut, the song centres on the frustration of reasoning with an immovable viewpoint, using a boxing ring as a metaphor for the combative nature of a one-sided argument, where winning trumps learning and context is dead. Hairpin have spent the last 12 months writing and recording new material and have upcoming UK dates, including a support slot for Glitterer at Bristol’s The Croft on the 2nd July.

“Nuance has become a casualty of modern discourse, people pick their team, adopt the positions wholesale, and bend themselves out of shape to defend it, with no desire for discussion.” (vocalist & guitarist Adam Edwards)
