NYC indie rock band Grumpy have unveiled their latest single “Holding” today.

The song arrives with a music video directed by vocalist Heaven Schmitt, which can be seen here. Schmitt said this about the new song:

“I had never seen her cry before. It was so rare that I ever knew exactly what she was feeling. But that day I saw her pain more than I ever had. I watched her cry, over facetime, for a moment then she said she wanted to hang up. Things would’ve had to be pretty bad for her to reach out and let me see her that vulnerable. We don’t communicate much with words. I knew there wasn’t anything I could say to console her. I would’ve given anything to be able to hold her.

When she hung up I wrote this song in about 15 minutes, wishing words were what she wanted, because they were all I could offer from so far away.”

“Holding” stems from Grumpy’s debut EP Wolfed, which arrives this Friday (October 25) on Bayonet Records. Pre-orders for the EP can be made here. This Sunday (October 27), the band will hold an EP release show at Trans-Pecos with support from Thanks For Coming and Estelle Allen. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
