Hailing from Dublin and now based in London, Tayne have announced the release of their debut album LOVE on 31st January via MNRK / Inside Job.
They have also unveiled ‘Fear’, a big and aggressive track channelling a Nine Inch Nails / Boy Harsher vibe, featuring one of the most important UK heavy bands of their generation and labelmates, Rolo Tomassi.

“Sonically speaking it’s a track that purely felt like we were serving the song” explains Tayne frontman Matt Sutton. “Fear is self-explanatory. It deals with being afraid, letting fear dominate our choices in life, being consumed by it or letting it win”.
Rolo Tomassi‘s James Spence adds: “After my first time seeing and feeling the energy of Tayne‘s live show I was immediately a fan. The band combines what I love about heavy and electronic music with visceral, heavy beat driven songs that are still laden with hooks. I was thrilled to be asked to be a part of this track”.
As part of the launch, Tayne will be offering 20 Tayne tattoos to fans to be tattooed by the bands frontman who’s a resident at Kings Cross’ acclaimed tattoo shop Sacred Gold. There will also be an album release party at Camden’s The Black Heart, on Wednesday 5th February.
‘Fear’ is the final video in a trilogy leading the visual narrative throughout the music directed by Leif Johnson, a member of London based video collective NEWD.
Sutton adds, “Act 3 is simple and to the point, empowerment, acceptance and celebration. Fear is such a Big Question song, it pokes the beast but never offers a resolution.
“We just wanted people to embrace themselves “be free” as gaga says and be strong, powerful with no f*cks given to anyone. Thematically I always thought this song could be interpreted as a negative one so I’m really glad the video delivers a more positive answer to the hard question of the track. In this case and very much in my dads case “No” we won’t be consumed by Fear”.
‘Fear’ is co-produced by Tayne and longtime collaborator Wayne Adams (Green Lung, Pet Brick), one of a number of collaborations with artists as diverse as Jesu, Cage Fight, Mastiff, Katie Kim & Poisonous Birds with Tayne supporting the likes of HEALTH, Author & Punisher and The Dillinger Escape Plan‘s Greg Puciato.
Tayne have been announced for ArcTanGent Festival, the most popular British summer festival for math rock, post rock, progressive metal and experimental music alongside Rolo Tomassi, The Melvins, Between The Buried And Me, The Fall of Troy & more.
