This Summit Fever Releases New Track ‘Hooks’

From humble beginnings as a Covid lockdown project for guitarist / vocalist Andy Blackburn, This Summit Fever have transcended from solo bedroom home recording project, to appearances at major music festival appearances, such as Bloodstock, within the space of a couple of years. With Jim McSorley providing a monstrous backbone to Andy’s blues-fuzz riffs, together they have bloomed into an explosive duo.

Fast forward again and This Summit Fever have a record deal with Majestic Mountain Records, who will release their self titled debut album in April 2025. Majestic Mountain Records is a label that This Summit Fever are proud to be a part of.

Andy Blackburn states:

“I always wanted us to be on a label that I was also a fan of. Marco and his team release some of the best underground music in my opinion. It’s music that I buy and love, so it’s an honour to be able to release our album through Majestic Mountain Records too”.

First lead track from the forthcoming This Summit Fever self titled album, Hooks has a blues inspired main riff and a signature pummelling McSorley drum groove. The song itself is about not having the tools to defend oneself when under verbal attack. Lines like “You’re relapsing into silence, Speak now into the silence” and “Rip out the hooks of discontent” leave no doubt that Andy Blackburn had a bitter taste in his mouth when writing this song.
