Self Torque Reveal “Del Shannon” Single

Brighton, UK Indie Punk trio Self Torque’s new single, Del Shannon, brings some spaghetti western vibes with a serious injection of trumpet towards its climax, the track is taken from the band’s forthcoming debut album, A Brutal Nadir, which is set for release 30th January 2026 via Sugar-Free Records. Self Torque will be playing Sugar-Free Records Birthday Show at Brighton’s Hope & Ruin on the 24th January 2026, they will also be playing a short run of dates in February with Jay Cavalier and the Band and appearing at Manchester Punk Festival in April.

“Del Shannon went through many interpretations before settling on a sort of spaghetti western style. There’s big dynamic changes. Chaotic, choppy riffs and screaming give way to a quiet yet expansive chorus of vulnerability and emotive melody. The lyrics really speak for themselves.” (vocalist and guitarist Gabriel MacKenzie)
