Parker Barrow fire up Hold The Mash with new single and UK dates

“This song taught me a lot about my voice. How to trust it, stretch it, and use it in ways I never would have naturally gravitated toward.”

A last-minute rocker for the record

Hold The Mash pulls in songs from last year’s Hold The Mash EP, including Make It, Novocaine, The Healer and Glass Eyes Cryin’, alongside new material including Nothin’ Left To Save, Ruby’s Reckoning and a cover of Black Crowes track My Morning Song.

Nothin’ Left To Save was the last song written for the record,” says drummer Dylan Turner. “Lyrically, I had most of the verses written for some time. It wasn’t until hearing the track that it all came together. The up-tempo rock n roll nature of the song was just what we needed to round out the record and, in our ears, make it feel complete.”

Guitarist Alex Bender says the track began with a verse riff. “I wanted to have the guitar punctuating the vocal lines with the drums which provided a lot of the energy and movement. One of the more different parts about the song is the bridge, prior to the solo. I took inspiration from some of Hendrix’s guitar parts, even recording the section on a Strat with the selector switch set to position four.”

He adds: “At the end of the track, there’s some call and response between the vocals and guitar. We utilised some automated panning and moved the lines across the stereo field to help give the listener’s ear something to follow, also making it especially cool to listen to with headphones.”

Lead singer Megan Kane says the song pushed her in the studio. “If I’m being honest, Nothin’ Left To Save was one of the more challenging songs for me to record on this album. With such a high-energy track, I struggled to find my ground and complement the track when we first sat down with it in the studio. Our producer, Stephen McKnight, encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone, especially when it came to some of the vocal choices, and I am so grateful that he pushed me there.”

Continues Megan: “This song taught me a lot about my voice. How to trust it, stretch it, and use it in ways I never would have naturally gravitated toward. It reminded me that growth rarely happens in the places that are comfortable. Sometimes it takes people you trust to challenge you, see more in you than you see in yourself, and push you toward something better and because of all that I’m incredibly happy with what we captured on this track.”
