Heart Attack Man have unveiled their latest single, The Gallows, alongside a brand-new video. The track lands ahead of a Manchester gig at Rebellion.
The Gallows delivers a sharp-edged blend of punk energy and wry lyricism, encapsulating the band’s signature mix of biting humour and existential dread. The new single, taken from their forthcoming album Joyride The Pale Horse, presents frontman Eric Egan’s distinctively conversational approach, set against crunching guitars and relentless momentum. The track addressing themes of perseverance and overcoming darkness. The accompanying video amplifies these themes with stark visuals that bring the song’s raw intensity to life. As frontman Eric Egan explains, “This song explores familiar themes of triumphing over the darkness and despair of young adulthood in an energetic, conversational way. It’s kind of meant to be the pep talk of the album.”
Following the release of The Gallows, Heart Attack Man are set to embark on a UK tour, bringing their hard-hitting sound to fans across the country. The band will perform in Manchester as part of their run, with a headline show at Rebellion. In addition to their own shows, they will also appear at Slam Dunk Festival in Hatfield and Leeds.

Joyride The Pale Horse release date
Joyride The Pale Horse, the band’s fourth studio album, arrives on Friday 25 April. The album features a mix of hard-hitting punk anthems and introspective tracks, including previous singles Laughing Without Smiling and Spit, which addresses the rumbling unease between creativity and AI – “It gets into A.I.,” he reveals. “What does A.I. mean for the creative process? Is it the end of human creativity? ‘Spit’ is a tongue-in-cheek sarcastic confrontation. I don’t like the idea of everyone relying on robots more and more. It’s my snarky pushback.”.
