The first song the band wrote for Lemon Memory, "Give Blood" presents them at their most poppy, while retaining the punchy character that made their debut such a storm. Questioning the nature of their own creativity ("why do I sing about death?"), Menace Beach lay waste to assumptions in deliciously scuzzed up fashion.

"Starting a session with people you haven’t worked with before has the potential to be a bit daunting," Ryan Needham descibes of the origins of the song, "but by the time we blasted through this a few times it was instantly apparent there was a strong vibe there, and we just rode that wave to the end of the session."

Menace Beach kickstart a UK tour in January, continuing across the country through February. Details of these dates can be found below.
