Miranda and the Beat - "Can't Take It"


Miranda and the Beat recently relocated from New York City to New Orleans. Their latest single, "Can't Take It," is still the same vintage style of punk that we've come to love from them, but with more of an R&B twist. The song's roots are planted in early garage rock from bands like ? and the Mysterians, but a much darker version. The whole thing is a unique mash up of garage rock, punk, and darkwave. As dark as "Can't Take It" is, it's still a fun punk rock song that is going to inspire a mixture of pogoing and dancing at live shows.

Miranda Zipse says of her band's latest single:

“While recording the album at Moon Studios in Germany, King Khan played us some old King Khan and BBQ Show demos, including a skeleton voice memo with the phrase ‘Can’t Take It.’ The music came together effortlessly, and by the end of the day, we were all shouting ‘Can’t Take It’ at the top of our lungs. The video was easy for us to shoot because I was genuinely hungover from our NYE party with Black Lips. I definitely felt like I ‘couldn't take it’ while doing 12 hours of Pilates.”

You can watch the video for "Can't Take It" below. Can't Take It, the album, is scheduled for release on October 25 via Ernest Jenning Record Co., Khannabalism/Wild Honey Records, and is available for pre-order through Bandcamp. For more on the band, check them out on Facebook and Instagram.
