Dublin grunge trio HAVVK release their tongue-in-cheek pop-punk banger ‘Take It From Me’ today, 22nd February, 2024 via VETA Records. The song is a takedown of the cartoonish scenarios of men speaking over women and taking credit for their ideas.
Lead singer Julie Hawk explains: “While it’s obviously serious, the song is also laughing in the face of these kind of eye-rollable scenes, which we should surely put behind us by now. I imagine it being sung by a sassy girl band of seven-year-olds performing it in the mirror and dressing up in their older sisters’ clothes.”
Notable taste-makers like The Line of Best Fit, CLASH, The Guardian, DIY, and many more have championed HAVVK. The band also boasts significant placements on Spotify Editorial playlists such as New Music Friday Germany, Alternative Generation, and Indie Alternative as well as Apple Musicʼs New in Rock. The singles released so far from To Fall Asleep have captivated audiences in Ireland and abroad, enjoying airplay on KEXP, BBC Radio 1, RTÉ 2fm, BBC Radio Ulster, Radio X, and numerous others.
HAVVK have toured extensively throughout the UK, Ireland and Germany, including their “Drawn Together” project, a 12-date UK tour which saw them team up with over 50 female and non-binary artists including Menstrual Cramps, Medicine Cabinet and Scrounge, in 2019 to promote equality in music. HAVVK have sold out shows in Londonʼs Seabright Arms and Berlinʼs Schokoladen and Loophole, and have supported the likes of And So I Watch You From Afar and The Drums. The band have also made notable appearances at The Great Escape, Liverpool Soundcity, and Ireland Music Week, as well as a TV performance on Other Voices.
Prepare to lose yourself in HAVVK’s fervent, grunge-fuelled sound while finding connection with others.
