thistle have shared new song ‘tied’ ahead of a tour with Humour and what’s set to be a breakthrough year in 2026. This follows shows with Man/Woman/Chainsaw, Upchuck and Westside Cowboy and airplay from the likes of Steve Lamacq, Deb Grant and Nathan Shepherd.

Over and done in 95 seconds, the song combines a classic Lemonheads grunge-pop sound and vibrant hooks with the intense nature of Glassjaw. Plus a dose of darkly tinged wordplay: ‘I heard you don’t recognise your face. Peel it off/ Put a new one in its place’.
