Raisin Awareness Reveal New Single “Date Knight”

UK indie punks Raisin Awareness have returned with their fourth single, Date Knight, via Lockjaw Records. The heartfelt track chronicles the trials and triumphs of starting something new in adulthood, blending raw emotion with an infectious rhythm that encourages listeners to embrace the music and dance along.

“In ‘Date Knight’, we’ve opened our hearts out about the struggles and joys of starting something new in adulthood. We started the band in 2020, and while Rob (drums) is a seasoned musician, it was something very new for Daggi (bass) and I. I reference dancing and skating in particular because I love both. While I have no hesitation about expressing myself through dance, I know others do, and I want to encourage them that there is no ‘one’ way to dance, as long as it feels good. Bring out your inner Ace Ventura, everyone!! As for skating, I started in my mid-thirties, but adulthood should never be a barrier to new beginnings. The resonating words of a cherished friend – ‘never give up’ – serve as my guiding light. Despite the struggles, I persist, for the sheer joy it brings me —from the activity itself to meeting people in the skating community— is irreplaceable. “Date Knight” is a song that echoes our frustration of playing shows for free as a new band, but it also echoes our absolute love for making music. It’s a bittersweet journey, but one we wouldn’t change.” (lead vocalist, and guitarist Jo D)
