The Snuts have announced their fourth album ‘Joy In Short Moments’ and shared new single ‘Defibrillator’ — but it’s their Nottingham stop that local fans will be eyeing up.
The band will bring their latest era to Rock City on November 27 as part of a sprawling UK tour, giving Nottingham one of the first chances to hear material from the new record live ahead of its October 23 release.
New single ‘Defibrillator’ lands as a buoyant, drum-heavy cut built around the idea of a “living wake” — celebrating life with the people around you while you still can. Produced by frontman Jack Cochrane alongside Scotty Anderson, it signals a more reflective turn for the Scottish four-piece after a relentless few years on the road.
“I wanted to write a track that detailed a conscious decision to live and love more,” Cochrane said. “To take life less seriously and dilute ego as often as possible.”
That shift feeds directly into ‘Joy In Short Moments’, a record the lead singer says was shaped by stepping away from the chaos. After years of constant touring, Cochrane returned home, became a father and began confronting the bigger questions — a headspace that looks set to define the band’s most grounded release yet.
For Nottingham, Rock City feels like a fitting stage for that next chapter. Having already built a reputation for packed-out, high-energy shows, The Snuts’ return promises a mix of big-hitting classics and the more introspective edge of their new material — with ‘Defibrillator’ likely to land as an early crowd moment.
The tour will ultimately culminate in a major London date at Brixton Academy on December 10, but for East Midlands fans, November 27 is the one to circle.
