more on KatH:

Genre-defiant indie rockers Kat and the Hurricane return with their first original single since their breakout "The Sorry EP." Based in Madison, Wisconsin, Kat and the Hurricane is an all-queer and trans trio of lead singer/guitarist Kat Rhapsody (they/them), keyboardist/vocalist Benjamin Rose (they/them), and drummer Alex Nelson (they/them).

An anthemic reminder that there's always a way home to yourself, the new single "On My Way Back" blends nostalgic alt-rock production with pop sensibility, blending synths, addictive guitar riffs, and the band’s signature soaring harmonies. A perfect song for summer, the new single arrives right as Kat and the Hurricane begins a summer of festivals and venue appearances across the Midwest, with a full U.S. tour planned in the fall.

“What started as an acoustic folk song has evolved into a dance anthem that is unlike anything we've written before. This song confronts dormant memories from a past chapter in life, fully acknowledging the acquired damage and aftermath, all while navigating the road back to your former self – a version of you before the hurt.” – Kat Rhapsody

“On My Way Back represents everything I love about Kat and the Hurricane: guitar riffs that take you back to the indie rock world of decades past, exciting synths, striking ensemble vocals, and a powerful message. This song makes me want to dance, laugh, and cry all at the same time. It represents a brand new era, taking the band to new sonic heights...this is just the beginning.” - Benjamin Rose

“As humans, we often look outside ourselves for healing, whether that's in other people, partners, vices, etc. And that's the painful part - we have to turn inward to face our shadows and build our relationship with ourselves in order to make the greatest strides in our healing journey.” – Alex Nelson
