"An unholy amalgamation of sounds... Refusing to obey genre lines, they eventually realised that their misfit sound was what defined them – and they didn't want to fit in anyway" ~ Clash Magazine

"Charismatic and wild, frontman Yinka Oyewole leads the band through psychedelia, grunge punk and funk with some great shredding and even falsetto heights.... Sabatta drives a blaze of fiery, magnetic vocals, funked-out bass and thrashing guitar" ~ The Spill Magazine

"Exhibiting a style that can be closely linked to punk legends Bad Brains and Dead Kennedys... uncompromising modern punk rock music" ~ Fortitude Magazine

"In-your-face, unapologetic and diverse. Sabatta have created a sound that is uniquely their own... the black sheep of rock and roll. An outsider to the alternative" ~ Get In Her Ears

presents his rip-roaring new single

(along with a radio edit) as a wake up call to the masses. A

funkadelic groove-laden track that is as addictive as it is memorable, this song heralds

his forthcoming album

Revolving around guitarist and songwriter

, who was raised in Essex

and is of Nigerian lineage, Sabatta crafts a raw and individual sound with spiky guitar

and an inimitable voice, like a mix of Hendrix, QOTSA and early Red Hot Chili Peppers

strained through the sieve of South London. And it's no wonder with musical influences

ranging from Curtis Mayfield, Prince, Tupac and Hendrix to Bad Brains, Thin Lizzy,

Parliament / Funkadelic and Black Sabbath.

We’ve all heard the expression of being ‘in two minds’ or having a devil on one

shoulder and an angel on the other - but what happens when the opposing sides of our

conscience come to life? The video for Sabatta’s new single

It’s also the most raw and unfiltered. I love storytelling, I love guitar playing, I love

grooves. And I love being my own person, even if that's seen as rebellious or contrary,

on the new album I’m just being me."

‘Get Your Shit

At the song’s opening, we are confronted with furiously fuzzy guitars that return to

growl at us in each chorus. This contrasts with super wah-wah riffing in the verse, all

leading up to sweet solo shredding in the musical breakdown. All this matched with

Yinka’s lyrical vulnerability about struggling with the hedonistic lifestyle musicians often

feel compelled to indulge in. Here we have a concoction as hard to resist as the

demons Yinka is waging war with through his words, emphasizing that we’ve all got to

get our shit together at some point - there's no better time than the present.

, setting the band off touring nationally.

Some may call this "grunge soul" or "funk-punk rock", but it is also very much

"alternative rock" in the sense that it rests on raw-as-f**k riffs with thought-police proof

lyrics that provide a view alternative to the conventional wisdom. Here we have super

dirty riffs, grooves that would make both Black Sabbath and George Clinton proud,

lyrics with the vitriol and vulnerability of Tupac, and the wit of Elvis Costello.

As of September 15, ‘Get Your Shit Together’ will be available across digital platforms,

including

Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp

. Sabatta will be releasing the full

album 'How To Get Even’ on Friday, November 17.
