DITZ share new single ‘Taxi Man’ taken from their recently announced album Never Exhale set for release in January 2025 via Republic Of Music and Domino Publishing. They also announce a string of intimate in-store performances at some of the UK’s best record stores. Never Exhale is the sound of a band that hasn’t stopped for a breath. DITZ have toured relentlessly since the release of their first record The Great Regression and the songs that form their newest offering were written across Europe, often on off days and in borrowed rehearsal rooms just to break up the long drives – it’s an album that reflects the sound of the road.
Singer C.A. Francis shares of ‘Taxi Man’:
“We’ve been talking playing most of this new album live for a year now. Out of all the tracks, ‘Taxi Man’ has been the most requested. We wrote it across a couple of days in Cologne, in a disused air raid bunker. We properly fell out while we were writing it. There was nothing coming for so long until we stumbled into ‘Taxi Man’. The whole song came together pretty quickly and is now collectively our favourite track to play live. It’s one of those moments you hope to recreate again sometime but can’t really imagine the scenario.”
