Band on tour with The Faim in Australia in January and will be in the UK this summer for Download Festival
Ahead of the release of their hotly anticipated EP Afterglow, Sydney pop-punkers YOURS TRULY
today reveal new single, ‘I Can’t Feel’. Previous singles ‘High Hopes’
and ‘Circles’ have already garnered a combined 5 million streams, and
this emotionally
charged follow up is undoubtedly going to ramp up the momentum.
Detailing lead vocalist Mikaila Delgado’s experience with a rare
connective tissue disorder, the track is a commanding cry of both
frustration and triumph. It comes alongside a visually arresting video
which features a voodoo doll of the frontwoman being stabbed
with a pin and the pain translating to her body.
Since being diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome at two, Delgado’s life
has navigated aches, pains, dislocations and fatigue. But letting this
get in the way of her music career was never an option.
“When I found heavy music on YouTube I just knew this was
what I wanted to do. I knew it wouldn’t be easy to perform at that level
but I wasn’t going to let something I was born with stop me… I was
too obsessed with this idea of singing in a band
and touring the world that the consequences became irrelevant,” she says.
“‘I Can’t Feel’ is about the struggles where you’re doubting
yourself because of a condition you can’t control. Since EDS is an
invisible disability, I sometimes have a feeling of having to prove my
pain and discomfort for it to be legitimate to
other people. This song is really special to me because I’ve always
found it hard to explain the way I feel – what other people can’t see.
Putting it in a song allowed me to say the things I’ve wanted to say for
the past 21 years.”
‘I Can’t Feel’ follows a raft of acclaim from their recent singles,
‘High Hopes’ and ‘Circles’, including Upset Magazine, Rock Sound,
Kerrang, Radio 1 (as a Jack Saunders Indie Show ‘New Name’) and NME
naming Afterglow as one of the top pop-punk records to
look out for in 2019. YOURS TRULY have also bagged the support slot
for Hellions’ tour in May and are slated to play Download UK in June.
Afterglow is available to pre-order now via
iTunes and 24Hundred.
