Had Sandy unleash explosive new single ‘t’other side’

Brighton emo favourites Had Sandy are turning up the intensity with the release of their powerful new standalone single, ‘t’other side’, out now via Sugar-Free Records.

Packed with urgency, emotion and a heavier edge than ever before, ‘t’other side’ finds the quartet pushing their sound into exciting new territory while remaining rooted in the hardcore-infused foundations that have earned them a growing reputation across the UK underground scene. Bigger, louder and more ambitious, the track offers an electrifying glimpse into the band’s evolving creative direction.

Originally intended to feature on Had Sandy’s forthcoming debut album, ‘t’other side’ quickly revealed itself as something special. Standing apart from the rest of the material, the band chose to release it as its own statement piece; a decision that feels entirely justified from the moment its pounding drums and jagged guitar lines burst into life.

Recorded between Small Pond Studios, frontman Jude’s home studio and various rehearsal spaces, the single captures the raw energy and emotional immediacy that have become central to the band’s identity. Beneath the track’s chaotic momentum lies a surprisingly profound lyrical core, reflecting on existence, gratitude and the importance of embracing the life we have while we can.
