Irish Indie-Rock band The Burma announce the release of their latest single “The Hard Ground” on Friday 30th of June. Following up from their previous Homegrown Top 20 Hit “23” – “The Hard Ground” is the second single from the Irish trio’s upcoming sophomore album, due later this year.
After a busy 2022 saw the band’s debut album become the third best-selling Independent Irish Album the week of its release – The Burma are currently making their way through the Summer festival circuit while also gearing up for a 2023 headline tour, including their first UK shows starting in August this year.
Giving an insight into the new single, the band say: “This song is a bit of a standalone track on our new album. It’s the first time we’ve written a song that showcases our early influences as much as this one. We didn’t shy away from them where we might have in the past. This single also features elements of one of the very first songs we wrote 10 years ago.”
The track opens with an upbeat guitar riff reminiscent of the early 2000’s Indie scene. It blends the band’s knack for melodies with a nostalgic Indie Rock sound. The gritty production brings to mind bands like The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys.
“The Hard Ground” is available on all major streaming platforms now.
