Gilla Band deliver new single "Sports Day"

Gilla Band have unveiled their first new single of 2023, "Sports Day".

"Sports Day" is the group's first outing since releasing their Most Normal album in October last year, and is, according to lead vocalist Dara Kiely, "about announcing embarrassing facts (thankfully via a distortion mic)."

Kiely adds, "Weird lies you've told as a child, poor skills you once thought you were great at and repetitive lines that you still bring up to the same people. The subject matter contains: me being 12 and coming to terms with being crap at football and would never be a professional. At a similar age; having this peculiar routine in which I used to say goodnight to my sports day medals (including kissing my participation ones) before going to bed. Essentially being strangely proud of my achievements of simply showing up. Linking that out of depth feeling to the modern day in the shape of not knowing how to turn on the PA (or anything music equipment related for that matter). Also secretly admiring soap operas while constantly talking about The Beatles to anyone who would listen."

Gilla Band's "Sports Day" song is out now alongside their Most Normal album.
