Air Drawn Dagger release new music video for ‘Me & My Friends (We’re Trying Asbestos We Can)’

AIR DRAWN DAGGER have released a new music video!

The UK alternative metal outfit have released a new music video for their brand new single Me & My Friends (We’re Trying Asbestos We Can). The track marks the band’s first new material following their debut album, A Guide For Apparitions, released in 2025.

Recorded with producer Jim Pinder (SLEEP TOKEN, HOT MILK, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, NECK DEEP), Me & My Friends (We’re Trying Asbestos We Can) intends to capture the band at their most focused and visceral, retaining the emotional intensity of their debut era while pushing into darker and more refined territory.

Commenting on the new single, the band shares, “this song was forged in a cabin in the German mountains in the brief space between tour dates. It came from a period of exhaustion, closeness, and reflection, where everything felt heightened and exposed.

Sonically, the track feels polarising yet consistent. We built it around contrast rather than compromise, pairing a ‘campfire’ style chorus that feels almost communal, with the heaviest and most chaotic moments we have ever put into a song. The aim was to let those extremes exist side by side.

Me & My Friends (We’re Trying Asbestos We Can) is three minutes of melodic anguish that reflects where we were mentally and creatively. It captures the push and pull between connection and burnout, warmth and violence, clarity and noise. It documents a band in motion, writing in real time, and allowing the chaos of this period to shape the song rather than fighting against it.”
