Pennsylvania based duo Witch Weather will release their new single, Don’t Need, tomorrow, 28th Junes and today The Punk Site has been an exclusive stream of the single ahead of its release. Don’t Need is the lead single from their upcoming album that is set to be released later this year, on this short punchy track Kaitlynn and Juliann deliver a relentless burst of energy that captures the essence of frustration. With gritty vocals and raw power, the song delves into the overwhelming accumulation of inconveniences that plague their lives. It serves as a sonic eruption, a cathartic release of pent-up emotions that resonates with the essence of the human experience. As a badass queer punk band, they share their experiences through their music and bring unapologetic representation to the scene. Witch Weather will also be celebrating the release of the single tomorrow at Millersville, PA’s Goonfest which is being held in support of Off The Streets Lancaster.

“Don’t Need was me finally figuring out how to write an angry song. Normally when I try to do it the song turns into something sad and depressing but in this case we finally executed the way I would have liked. Especially on the album version of the track. Lyrically it’s about being fed up with being taken advantage of. Recording the guitar solo made me want to explode, it’s not hard to play by any means I just kept messing it up.” (Kaitlynn)

“Don’t Need was really fulfilling for me to sing since I have been really self-conscious about my voice. I was always told I wasn’t a singer and that was the first time I felt I accomplished something vocally. Prior to this single, I pretty much only wrote and played my bass lines. I was and still am a part of songwriting decisions like song form, theme, etc. But this was the first time I performed something else on a recording which led to me doing backups on other tracks as well. it’s been a good conference booster because even though I took vocal lessons in college, and no shade to that teacher, I just still hadn’t really found my voice. and now Don’t Need has allowed me to start that journey.” (Juliann)
