Today, Finnish rock band SHIRAZ LANE are thrilled to return with their new single “Kryptonite,” along with an official visualizer, out now via Frontiers Music Srl.
The band states:
“Solid and straightforward, yet captivating and groovy. The track captures a party-like vibe while lyrically reflecting a sense of polarized or divided emotions. 'Kryptonite' was recorded in the flow of our latest album sessions. Wanting to keep the LP as a tight-knit package, we decided to save the song for a later standalone release and present it as a follow-up to the 'In Vertigo' era. 'Kryptonite' is a special treat - a cherry on top of the cake so to speak. It serves as a celebration of this album cycle and is an anthemic encore for the whole 'In Vertigo' experience.”
The new single also arrives as SHIRAZ LANE prepare for a few Finnish dates at the end of this year, and their fourth appearance on the legendary Monsters of Rock Cruise(MORC), further cementing their reputation as one of the most exciting live acts in the modern hard rock scene.

Following the release of their ambitious and genre-blending album ‘In Vertigo,’ the band continues to push their creative boundaries while staying true to the infectious melodies, powerful hooks and high-energy attitude that have become their trademark.
Once again recorded in Stockholm with their trusted producer and longtime collaborator Per Aldeheim, “Kryptonite” sees SHIRAZ LANE continuing a successful creative partnership that has helped shape their distinctive sound. Aldeheim is best known for his work on several of Lambretta's hit songs and has also collaborated with artists such as Def Leppard, H.E.A.T and Vanilla Ninja, among others.
