Loaded is an explosive new track by Tāmaki Makaurau 4-piece Running Stitch, their first new release in seven years.

Set for release on August 23, this new song dives headfirst into the chaos of heightened emotions, and an over-crowded mind on the brink of collapse. Taut with tension, the song captures the feeling of being wound up tight and ready to go off like a loaded gun.

Loaded song moves between jangling, melodic guitar lines that glimmer with brightness, and darker, heavier riffs underpinned by synth-affected textures, creating an atmosphere of push and pull: desperation and vulnerability collide.

The lyrics balance moments of clarity with the suffocating weight of inner turmoil. The result is a track that’s both cathartic and volatile – equal parts melodic release, and sonic pressure cooker.
