Hannah Robinson Releases Powerful New Single, “Who I am”

We recently had the extreme pleasure to check out the new single “Who I Am” , from rising Newcastle Shoegaze rocker, Hannah Robinson. You can listen to “Who I Am “ Here

With bold new releases delving into darker, heavier sonic landscapes, Hannah Robinson and her band are gearing up for their most transformative year yet; selling out their first headline show of the year within hours. 2024 marked her evolution from ethereal dream pop to noisy shoegaze, but as she prepares for 2025, expect more pedals, powerful choruses, raw emotion and haunting vocals that linger long after the music fades.

To showcase the new sound, she has released her new single, “Who I Am” which delves into the psyche of a delusional, narcissistic man trapped in a false reality. Gritty, hazy, and dark, the track explores his inability to see his own flaws, instead blaming his past lovers for not understanding him. With furious choruses, honest vocals, brooding gothic melodies, and conflicted lyrics, this alt-rock anthem paints a haunting portrayal of self-deception and a fractured identity.

“Who I Am” from Hannah Robinson, is a super charged song that grabs you right from the first note , and doesn’t let up for a single second. We were completely mesmerized.

Diving deeper about ‘Who I Am’, Hannah explains:

I’ve always been drawn to expressing my own thoughts on paper, but this time, I felt urged to explore someone else’s. I wanted to craft a story about the classic narcissist; someone blind to their own negativities. To capture the intensity and toxicity of such a character, I made the music as raw and aggressive as possible, making sure it matched the unsettling nature of their delusional personality.”

We are all in on the new single, Who I Am” this is without a doubt a song you can’t miss.

Commenting on the track, front man Guy McKnight says: PINK LADY is a tribute to the life of Rae Pinx. Tragically she died suddenly in an accident. She was the long term partner of my ex-band mate in The Eighties Matchbox B-line Disaster, Marc Norris. She was a multidisciplinary artist, including being a great and much published live music photographer, and also a full time tattoo artist.  She was passionate about many kinds of alternative music and was also a Bruce Springsteen aficionado. It’s one of the first songs we three wrote together as THE DSM IV.”

WISE GUY’ comes backed by AA side ‘PENNYWISE’, a deep cut from their debut album NEW AGE PARANOIA which was released earlier in 2024.
