Lauran Hibberd - 'Bang Bang Bang'

Lauran Hibberd’s new track ‘Bang Bang Bang’ is bold and biting. “I would hate to be your next girl,” the slacker-pop queen doesn’t pull any punches as she begins the track. The track is energetic and angsty and above all, fun. The Isle of Wight native employs heavy drums and guitars, as you’d expect, in this witty, sharp single.

Discussing her first release of the year, Hibberd explained: “‘Bang Bang Bang’ is my ode to the teenage girl. It’s built for the prom scene in ’10 Things I Hate About You’. It’s the cycle of going back to the same person even when you know you shouldn’t and I guess the fallout of all of that”.

‘Bang Bang Bang’ is undeniably catchy with its sing-along inducing chorus. Its release comes ahead of a UK tour for Lauran and a spot at SXSW later this year. She also spent time in 2019 supporting Hippo Campus and The Regrettes.

‘Bang Bang Bang’ definitely has a cool 90s throwback feel to it and you can almost hear it in the soundtrack to ‘10 Things I Hate About You’.
