“Surrender” by UK band The Gulps is a song about first loves and the fragility of youth, and the vital part they play in the narrative of life, the latest from The Gulps stands as one of their most poetic, poignant, and punchy cuts yet. The track follows previous single “Mirror Mirror” and “Candy.”

Speaking about this personal new track, frontman Javier Sola expresses:

“A moment of uncertainty and internal rebellion in which resistance to the present moment, to the now, no longer makes sense. The only thing left is to join eternity, an infinite youth that knows no quantifiable age. Like the Steppenwolf we live in an internal battle in which we neither win nor lose, we only suffer until the moment we accept it and let the current carry us gently into the portal of not perishing. In the midst of the storm the surrender to the present without resistance leads to eternal youth, a youth that disregards quantifiable age in material form but rather the spirit that never perishes, eternity. We are made of light and darkness, of mud and diamonds, of laughter and tears. Accept them, surrender without resistance and fly free.”

Produced by Tim Wheeler of Ash Recorded at Livingston Studios in London with Tim Wheeler at the control desk, the track was engineered by Graeme Young and mixed by Charlie Russell, and polished by Nick Watson at Fluid Mastering.

The Gulps includes frontman Javier Sola (Vox) and guitarist Juan Carlos Ruiz (both from a small town in La Rioja, Spain), bassist Simon Mouchard (from Nantes, France), rhythm guitarist Francesco Antonio Buffone (from Calabria in southern Italy) and drummer Raoul Khayat (from Beirut, Lebanon).

The Gulps have played shows with Ash, Cast, Skinner Brothers, Carl Barat and Keir.
