HAIM RETURN WITH “SUMMER GIRL”NEW SINGLE OUT NOW
“I started the song when I found out my partner had cancer. I was on tour and felt like I was trying to send positive energy his way almost telepathically. Whenever I would come home in between shows I wanted to be his sunshine – his summer when he was feeling dark. His hope when he was feeling hopeless,” shares Danielle Haim.

Citing influences such as Tom Petty, Noel Gallagher, The Eagles, Pearl Jam and The Counting Crows “The song is a wish list of all the things that I want but there’s also a promise in the song – as much as I want these things in the future, I’m still going to keep the person safe and carry them strong. The song is expansive in its imagery which I always try and get across in my songs.”

“Holding The Gun symbolizes loyalty and an everlasting type of love,” says Sabrina. “I wanted to make sure that showing violence was not a factor within the visual as violence, conceptually, isn’t what the song is about.

SHEARE Shares “Nightmare Baby” Single, Playing Echo Park Rising On 8/16
“I wanted to make a song that sounded like if the Cure was asked to score a John Hughes movie that took place in 2019. It’s purposely cheeky lyrically speaking, and thematically it’s about moment of realization that you’ve just romanticized a person and the actuality is they are nothing like what you had projected. They’re kind of a nightmare.” – SHEARE

Gabriele Baldocci Unleashes Masterpiece
The celebrated pianist, Gabriele Baldocci has gone where few dare to tread. He has not only released an album of some of Queen’s biggest hits (and, for the fans, some of their most beloved deep cuts) but has approached the tracks in a way only a true fan could, deconstructing them to their very essence and creating works of art which will thrill Queen fans, classical aficionados and indeed anyone with a passion for music. With a live premiere at The Stables, Milton Keynes, on October 13th, Sheer Piano Attack is the perfect encapsulation of Gabriele’s astonishing skill on the piano, his remarkable arrangements and, of course, Queen’s legacy of staggering songs.

Press Club are today sharing the striking video for their latest single Thinking About You, taken from their forthcoming second album Wasted Energy.
