Folk-rock sextet The Frisbys return with the release of their uplifting new single ‘Hurt Me,’ out today.

Despite what the song’s title would suggest, ‘Hurt Me’ is a surprisingly elevating single that combines folk, rock and country-infused sensibilities. Twins Helen (vocals, flute) and Nicola Frisby’s (vocals, acoustic guitar) undeniable chemistry is second-to-none; sounding akin to the likes of First Aid Kit and The Shires as a result.

Talking about the single, the band elaborate, “its about starting a new relationship after a significant heartbreak and the battle of deciding whether you are ready to pursue something new when you are still recovering from past hurts. It’s also about the responsibility of protecting other people and recognising that if you’re not ready to move on, you might end up causing someone else pain. Basically… it’s a no win. It sucks to break up with someone and it sucks to be broken up with. The song is pretty upbeat though so it isn’t quite as depressing as it sounds!”
