Haggard Cat release new song ‘Goldberg’
HAGGARD CAT have released a brand new song!
The new song, titled Goldberg, is taken from the Nottingham duo’s upcoming new album Challenger which is scheduled to be released in April this year. Speaking about the new song, vocalist/guitarist Matt Reynolds explains “Goldberg is a very personal song to us. The lyrics deal with how touring and expectation cause deterioration of mental health and how our perception of ourselves on the road can lead to toxic behaviour. Although this might sound quite reflective, it’s actually a very positive song about being more self aware and pulling through to the other side. Musically, it’s also one of my personal favourites, focusing on the time signature still makes my head spin and I can’t wait to get out on the road to play that chorus riff nice and loud!”

Alongside the release of the new song, the band have announced a headlining tour in April and May to coincide with their upcoming release. Speaking about the tour, Matt Reynolds says, “we’ve been keeping these songs under-wraps for so long now that we can’t believe it’s finally almost time to push the album out into everyone’s ears! To celebrate it we’re doing a big old fashioned DIY tour of the UK around some of our favourite venues with some of the UK’s best underground promoters. There’s going to be a lot of old friends, and new faces alike; not to mention a fuck tonne of riffs in some of the UKs most exciting and energetic tiny sweat-box venues. It’s going to be sick!”
