VOLBEAT have released two brand new song!

The new songs, titled Wait A Minute My Girl and Dagen Før, are the brand new songs from the band and is their first new music since 2019’s Rewind, Replay, Rebound.

The two tracks were written and recorded while the world was in lockdown during the pandemic. Michael, Kaspar, and Jon recorded their parts with long-time producer Jacob Hansen in Denmark, while Rob worked remotely from New York.

Wait A Minute My Girl features saxophone player Doug Corcoran and piano player Raynier Jacob Jacildo, who both perform with JD McPherson’s band and previously appeared with VOLBEAT on 2019’s Die To Live (feat. Neil Fallon). Singer Mia Maja, who has worked with the band since Seal The Deal & Let’s Boogie, also appears on backing vocals. Dagen Før features guest vocals from Danish artist Stine Bramsen, who is known for her solo work as well as being a member of the band ALPHABEAT.

Speaking about the new songs, the band says, “as the weather begins to warm and the days get longer in many parts of the world, we wanted to share two songs that we wrote and recorded over these long, difficult fifteen months that have the vibe and feel of Summer. We’re beyond thankful that even during a lockdown our good friends Doug, Ray and Mia Maja were able to put the pedal to the metal with us on Wait A Minute My Girl, and we’re absolutely thrilled that Stine Bramsen, who we’ve known and admired for a long time, was willing to lend her incredible talents to Dagen Før. We hope you enjoy this double-barrelled blast of Summer tunes as much as we enjoyed creating them, and we can’t wait for you to hear what else we have in store for you. The Fall always brings the thunder and lightning…”
