Hear the band at their heaviest
After dazzling the alternative scene with their recent mini-album Vampire, Saint Agnes are back with a new self-made single that sees them at their most hardcore. The band have already found a fan in none other than Nick Cave, and they’re about to take over the country on their upcoming Vampire tour.

From that very first line of ‘Die! Fucking die’, you know you’re in for something intense with ‘Uppercut’. The harsh, frantic lyrics strike out at self-doubt and criticism, proving that you can often be your own worst enemy. It’s a hardcore horror-punk type of defiance that’s going to make their live performances unmissable. Here’s how Kitty A Austen described ‘Uppercut:
“Uppercut! is about fighting with yourself, fighting with your own mind. No one is more brutal to us, more precisely evil in their criticism, than the voice in our own heads and it’s something I’ve struggled with a great deal in my life. Uppercut!’s message is one of self-destructive defiance: do your worst but it won’t be a patch on what I already do to myself. It’s a song that lives at rock bottom but hopefully lets people feel less alone if they struggle with the same thing. It’s the most honest song I’ve ever written and I hope, when we sing it together on tour, that we can silence those voices together. It’s also brutal as fuck and hits like an uppercut to the jaw, so that’s fun.”
