Irish rock trio Adore have shared their second single ‘Supermum!’. The track was Produced by Gilla Band bassist Daniel Fox, and arrives ahead of a UK tour supporting Sprints this November. The band released their debut single ‘Postcards’ in June 2023 and have been gigging relentlessly since, supporting 86TVs, The Bug Club, Sprints and Cardinals, across Ireland.

“Supermum! tells the tale of moments where power is lost due to the conditioning of others stronger than you.” explains singer/guitarist Lara Minchin. “The lyrics come from my perspective of being raised as a quiet and polite young woman and how as I grew older, it became increasingly more obvious to me that I never learned how to say no, and even when I did, some of those around me had never learned how to take no for an answer.

“The tone of the song is satirical, which mimics the manner in which people talk about stories of assault abuse in their lives as a way to cope with the horror of it. This playful manner in which we talk about these problems shows that although we may be progressing by actually speaking up about assault, it is obvious that the issue at hand occurs so frequently that assault and abuse remains to be normalised. I hope that this song can continue the conversation of education surrounding sexual assault and abuse. I hope for people to feel safe enough to speak up about it. The fact is that sexual violence has remained a normal part of the majority of peoples lives and it shouldn’t be.”

Adore are set to support Sprints around the UK in November preceded by a headline show of their own in Whelan’s.
