Hertfordshire’s rising indie-rock band The Pedals are back with their latest single, ‘Hold Me.’

The track bursts to life with a fuzz-soaked guitar riff and a rhythm section that’s equal parts chaotic and melodic, pushing at the walls with energy that feels almost too big for the room. There’s a crackling with nervous energy, as if the song is fighting to be heard through a haze of self-doubt…

According to the band, ‘Hold Me’ came together during a late-night jam in a bedroom, a moment of spontaneous chemistry that shaped the track’s core. “We were messing around with the main riff and it just clicked,” they explain. “Lyrically, it’s about wanting someone to stay, even when you’re not exactly making it easy for them.”
