Today sees Birmingham-based newcomers GANS announce the release of their debut album GOOD FOR THE SOUL, set for release September 19th via Peter Doherty’s Strap Originals label. Heading up the news is the pair's latest single IT'S JUST LIFE which sees them unleash their energetic sound through pulsating synth melodies and catchy vocals as its bundled up in their angsty punk-influenced delivery. Drummer and vocalist Euan Woodman expands: "IT'S JUST LIFE is about that feeling we all have - the eternal chase for the grass being greener on the other side. And it isn't, no matter what we do it always comes back to the same old sh*t of living in our minds and having to deal with it all, no matter where we end up on the planet. That's just life isn't it." Take a listen for yourselves below.
