New Zealand group Yumi Zouma are back with "Give It Hell", their first new material of the year.

"Give It Hell" marks the band's first new outing since last year's Truth or Consequences album. Guitarist/vocalist Josh Burgess says of the song, "Before we went on stage for the only show we would play on our sold-out 2020 US tour, we held each other tight, and fighting back the tears, someone said ‘let's give it hell tonight’. The next day, Truth or Consequences was released. We drove to New York, took some photos, and dispersed back to our homes inthe US, UK, and New Zealand. We haven’t been in the same room since."

"To 'give it hell' is one of the strongest ways to stay present. Throwing yourself entirely into something, knowing it’s all you can give-it can be equal parts rewarding and humbling. This song encapsulates us digging deep, pushing through self doubt, and being grateful for the purpose and process of making music together. Especially when it’s hard and feels futile. In the spirit of staying present, we wanted to release this song NOW, and not wait for any other moment than this one," Burgess adds.

Yumi Zouma's "Give It Hell" single is out now on Polyvinyl. They'll play London's Lafayette on 18 March 2022. Visit yumizouma.com for tickets.
