32 tens channel frustration and release on new single ‘A.D’

Warrington-based outfit 32 tens continue carving out their own identity with the release of ‘A.D’, a powerful and emotionally charged track that transforms bottled-up frustration into cathartic alternative rock energy.

Named after the iconic 90s Nokia handset, the trio, made up of Max Vickers, Sam Glancy and Danny Hall, blend a love of retro gaming culture with gritty, guitar-driven songwriting and deeply personal themes. On ‘A.D’, the band tap into feelings of emotional exhaustion, inner conflict and the struggle to keep moving forward while carrying unresolved anger beneath the surface.

Driven by restless instrumentation and sharp lyrical intensity, the track reflects the pressure of constantly suppressing emotion until it eventually erupts. The band spent several years shaping the song, drawing inspiration from both personal experiences and shared frustrations, allowing the music itself to become a form of emotional release.

With crashing dynamics and explosive instrumental moments, ‘A.D’ captures the chaos of trying to hold yourself together while everything threatens to spill over. It’s a raw, relatable release that further establishes 32 tens as an exciting emerging voice within the UK indie scene.
