This past Friday, Bristol based rock band, IOTA, released their single, “Take It”!

“Take It” was recorded at Bristol's Humm Studios with Ben Johnson (Skindred, Chaouche) and Idles' Lee Kiernan, mixed by Tom Hennessy, and mastered by Pete Maher (Pixies, Jack White, The Rolling Stones).

“‘Take It’ was inspired by the fight with yourself in a multitude of circumstances, work, relationships, socially and mentally,” says the band. “The continuum of holding yourself back and having this other side to yourself that is constantly telling you, ‘you aren’t good enough, you won’t make anything of yourself.’ The persistent reminder of how well everyone else is doing, social media controlling us, and having a huge effect on us mentally. Constantly taking that push back and battling with your own mind as if it is a whole other person inside of you. We wrote the song during and before lockdown with Lee Kiernan who helped us build on the track instrumentally and melodically.”

If you’re a fan of Queens of the Stone Age, Soft Cult, No Doubt, Garbage, and/or Bring Me The Horizon, you may be inclined to enjoy this band!
