Spotify Drops

Record of the Week
Guillotine

Guillotine – “Haunted”

After a period in the shadows, Guillotine are not quietly re-emerging, they are stepping forward with intent. Their new single “Haunted” lands as a controlled detonation: tense, emotionally loaded, and sharpened by experience. It follows recent singles “Does It Make You Feel” and “Half As Bright”, tracks that have already received the kind of word-of-mouth praise bands spend years chasing, to quote “your favourite band’s favourite band.”
