Records. Gaffa Tape Sandy wrote forthcoming new record \u003ci\u003eHold My Hand, God Damn It\u003c\/i\u003e nervously together as the world slowly emerged from the first COVID-19 lockdown. The album writing process proved difficult, as a myriad of anxiety and personal relationship issues plagued the trio. The band was battling post-COVID mental health problems and employment issues, all while Catherine and Kim were trying to navigate recent breakups that coincided with their first UK headline tour in March 2020, just before the pandemic struck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThankfully, the band persisted, and adopted a more cooperative writing method that made the songwriting process for \u003ci\u003eHold My Hand, God Damn It\u003c\/i\u003e a revitalising experience, rather than a debilitating challenge. Rehearsals that started out as somewhat difficult became more like bonding sessions, and the friendships within the band started to flourish. The theme of the album quickly materialised.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded and produced by \u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Perks\u003c\/strong\u003e (Wargasm, Enter Shikari, Skindred) at the legendary Vada Studios in the countryside surrounding Birmingham, UK, the album was made by three friends with boundless love and affection towards one another, who pulled together and preserved their musical output and friendship, despite the odds. As such, \u003ci\u003eHold My Hand, God Damn It\u003c\/i\u003e is a frustrated-yet-compassionate, cathartic celebration of friendship and reconciliation in difficult times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith their sights now firmly set on launching a full scale assault on 2024, Gaffa Tape Sandy will be pulling no punches as they reveal further new music and live dates over the coming months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBody In The Water\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRosemary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScrapbook\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDevour (Rosemary Pt.
