But there'll be a lot of thunder and lightning for the rest of the material. He later added: " is just one of the tracks on the new album that just brings some light. And this song is more like pop-rock, rock and roll '50s kind of tune with punk elements."
But, as I said, it's not really representing the full album, because the full album is definitely the most heavy album that we've ever done. It kind of represents VOLBEAT in that '50s-'60s element where you definitely can hear the Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, RAMONES inspiration. It has all those summer colors that you need to be in a good mood. So we thought this track would be a good idea to release. Everybody's been sitting at home because of COVID and everything. And it was just one of those songs that made sense to release during the summer because everyone's been waiting to get something new, something positive. It's very much inspired by Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, RAMONES - those kind of things combined. But this track 'Wait A Minute My Girl' is a pure rocker. But these two singles that we released, they don't really represent the album. There's a lot of heavy riffing, like old BLACK SABBATH, early METALLICA, even some death metal in there. Because the coming album is probably the most heavy record we've ever done. "It doesn't really say much about the coming album, which will be released later this year. " pretty much an old song that I wrote a long time ago I just didn't finish it up ," Michael revealed (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). Poulsen, Jon Larsen (drums) and Kaspar Boye Larsen (bass) recorded their parts with longtime producer Jacob Hansen in Denmark, while Rob Caggiano (guitar) worked remotely from New York. The two tracks, VOLBEAT's first new music since 2019's album "Rewind, Replay, Rebound", were recorded while the world was in lockdown during the pandemic. VOLBEAT guitarist/vocalist Michael Poulsen spoke to the 94.9 The Rock Toronto radio station about the band's recently released songs "Wait A Minute My Girl" and "Dagen Før".
