‘I’ve Had Want’ is the latest release from Manchester quartet Holly Head. It’s an interesting cut that blends the band’s instrumental intensity (which comes out in force during an extended midpoint guitar solo) with a groovy, indie sound that leads towards a huge, hook-filled chorus. On the track’s background, singer and lyricist Joe says: “It can take a heavy toll on your mental health to process all the negative emotions we feel about the inequality and suffering we see around the world. Our anger shouldn’t be repressed though, and we still feel we must continue to tackle the same issues we’ve talked about in the past. The music is different on this track, but it’s still about wealth inequality, racial hate and animal rights to name a few but, this time, it’s through a wider range of emotions than solely anger.” Be sure to go back and check out the band’s three previous singles.
