There’s a certain kind of chaos that never really leaves rock music. It just waits for the right band to drag it back into the light. Enter Sarah Jane & The Noise, who arrive swinging with a new track, daisies that feels like it’s been dug out of a time capsule and wired straight into the present.
Premiering today on Backseat Mafia, the video leans hard into analogue textures and unfiltered feeling. Shot with a hazy, lo-fi aesthetic, it places the band in a park, all rough edges and restless energy, with Sarah Jane front and centre. Amber-haired, sharp-eyed, her vocal delivery lands somewhere between restraint and rupture, echoing the ragged intensity of Courtney Love without feeling like imitation.
That tension runs through everything here. The guitars feel jagged, the rhythm section pushes without polishing anything smooth, and the vocal sits right on top, carrying the weight of overthinking, frustration and release.
It’s a natural extension of their debut EP happiness in rearview, a five-track release that captures the uneasy space between wanting to move forward and being stuck looking back, which is due out on 29 May. The band describe it as the kind of inner dialogue most people try to avoid, the messy, uncomfortable thoughts that sit just beneath the surface until something cracks.
Formed out of Sarah Jane’s solo beginnings on YouTube, where she built a global following before bringing in a live band, the project has quickly grown into something more collaborative, more volatile and more immediate. Early singles i don’t wanna and tasteless tongues introduced a band unafraid to sit in discomfort, speaking directly to outsiders and overthinkers trying to make sense of themselves in a high-pressure world.
The new video sharpens that identity. It doesn’t chase gloss or perfection. It leans into imperfection, into grain, into the feeling that something might fall apart at any second and choosing to keep going anyway.
With 90s nostalgia still circling the mainstream, Sarah Jane & The Noise don’t just reference it. They tap into its nerve.
