Spearside have premiered the video for its lead single and title-track.

Brothers Oisín and Cian Walsh have confirmed their new Spearside EP Couldn’t Be Told will be released on October 22nd, featuring four tracks which also include Sentimental, Stuck Into Me and No Such Thing.

“The title encapsulates the meaning of the song; the arrogance of youth, the consequence of misplaced effort and watching someone wilfully go down a sad road,” Oisín has said.

Steve Albini once said something about the music industry that has always stuck with me because it applies to life in general. He said “If you can understand somebody else’s mistake and not make it, then you’re ahead of the game.

“Couldn’t Be Told is ultimately about trying to learn from others’ mistakes. We also want to counter that with some positive references to our childhood.”

“Times where you look back and are grateful for guidance you got whether or not you wanted it in the moment. Our Mam would always sing “It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to” at us when we were throwing strops as kids. Definitely an unorthodox disciplinary technique but it worked.”
