Surrey’s rising grunge-pop force Dude Safari launch into 2026 with their heaviest track yet. The
explosive new single ‘Silence Is Golden’ drops today 15th 2026 via the bands very own label
Pretty Thing Records, landing alongside a powerful new music video.
Frontman Jamie Tipson says: “This is the angriest song we’ve ever written. ‘Silence Is
Golden’ is about everything you bottle up—fear, frustration, guilt, until it finally blows. We wanted
the track to feel like that release. I guess it’s a audiobio of myself….not sure that’s even a word.”
Built on crushing riffs, huge hooks, and a darker, more intense edge, ‘Silence Is Golden’ pushes
Dude Safari into new territory. It’s heavier, louder, and more visceral than anything they’ve
delivered before—yet still packed with the melodic bite the band are known for. Following a run of
standout singles throughout 2025, Dude Safari enter the new year with serious momentum.
The band have become a go-to name on major playlists and radio shows worldwide, earning
spins on BBC Radio 1, KROQ, Radio X, and Amazing Radio, and support across Spotify,
Apple Music, Amazon, and Deezer. Rolling Stone Magazine hailed them as “Powerful and catchy in the best way possible.”
Since releasing their debut album ‘YUSSUS’ and documentary ‘Looks Like We Made It’, the
band have toured the UK, hit festivals like Guilfest and Truck Festival, and dropped a string of
fan-favourite tracks that have cemented their reputation for fuzzy, anthemic catchy bops.
With ‘Silence Is Golden’ and its accompanying music video, Dude Safari kick open the door to a bold, heavier era— setting the tone for a huge 2026.
