The Response unleash swagger and fuzz on new single ‘Where Do You Run To?’

Following the refined textures of their latest album, Christchurch duo The Response throw a curveball with ‘Where Do You Run To?’, a swaggering, fuzz-laden step into grittier terrain. It’s a bold shift, but one that still carries the melodic thread that’s always grounded their sound.

Driven by Victoria Knopp’s magnetic bassline and a slow-burning groove, the track trades polish for pulse. Andy Knopp’s cryptic lyrics hang in the air like riddles, while the chorus lands like a gut punch; defiant and designed to echo off venue walls.

Rather than chase immediacy, ‘Where Do You Run To?’ builds its tension slowly, holding its power just beneath the surface. It’s a strut that signals a fearless new chapter for a band unafraid to reshape their sound mid-stride.
