Based in Portsmouth in the south of the UK, Baby Said is a rock duo with a background that stretches across continents and musical inspirations, formed by sisters Veronica and Jess Pal. The Italian-Punjabi pair brings a fierce energy to the rock scene, bringing years of passion and hard work into their music.
Their artistic ambitious were amplified in 2021 when they saw Måneskin’s performance at Sanremo, which inspired Jess to switch from guitar to bass and inspired their band name after the Italian rock group’s hit “Baby Said.” Now joined by Holly Knowles on rhythm guitar and backing vocals and Maddie Hackett on drums, Baby Said has evolved from a passion project into a powerful four-piece rock outfit.
The band’s early releases, “Fight” and “You Killed It,” were an instant hit, landing on popular Apple Music playlists in multiple countries. The response was overwhelming, instantly establishing Baby Said as a compelling new act in the indie rock scene while their single “Mouth Shut” saw them hit the ground running this year, building up to their debut EP, WHO GIVES A ROCK.
Now bring us their latest release with the brand new single titled “Hate Me,” a thrilling track that frames themes of rejection, defiance and uncompromising self-expression. This song is a gripping alternative rock anthem that channels the angst and energy of youth, driven by fierce guitar riffs and Veronica’s biting vocals. Produced and mixed by Patch Boshell and Steven Battelle, with mastering from Steven Kerry, “Hate Me” delivers a moody storm of charging rock energy cut with memorable vocal hooks.
The lead single from their upcoming debut full-length record, BS, set to drop next year, “Hate Me” starts off with the patter of drums topped with slick vocal leads as the crunch of the guitar riff filters in. Erupting into an enthralling chorus of gritty guitars and pounding drums, Veronica threads soaring vocal lines above to craft a rousing explosion of energy.
Reaching an epic crescendo of screeching lead guitars, the track flows with intricate rise and fall to forge an energising listening experience from start to finish. With their highly anticipated debut album on the horizon, Baby Said continues to confirm their status as a must-watch act in the rock music scene of the UK and beyond.
