“The song is about unpacking difficult memories trapped inside of a shaken bottle; I open the cap and brace myself to see what happens,” explains singer/guitarist Jade Payne. “I was carrying a bunch of emotional baggage with past relationships that I hadn’t quite dealt with or figured out how to heal from.”
Starting in April, the band will also embark on a full US tour.
Formed in 2010, Aye Nako is a queer punk band comprised of four weirdos that write disorienting, but highly melodic punk songs while carving out a space to co-exist in the fold between art, music, and politics. The band has self-released one full length, Unleash Yourself (2013), and also put out an EP, The Blackest Eye (2015) through Don Giovanni Records. They have toured throughout the US with Screaming Females, Joanna Gruesome, and Speedy Ortiz.
