Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats have unveiled a new single titled “Don’t Let It Control You” ahead of a new album that is set to be released sometime in 2026.
The single features a driving and direct rock song in the vein of Queens of the Stone Age or the Stooges through a hazy Sabbathian filter. A B-side, “Don’t Let It Control You Part II,” is essentially the same song slowed and rendered in acoustic guitar, harp and Wurlitzer piano.
A physical release for the single is slated for May 29th via Killer Candy Recordsm with pre-orders available here. This is the band’s first 7″ single since 2016’s “Pusher Man,” a song from their 2015 album The Night Creeper.
In addition to the release of the single, the group has also announced a June/July European tour and November UK outing, including multiple festival appearances (pick up tickets here). Headlining shows in the EU will feature on select dates Dirty Sound Magnet or Rezn as support, while the UK shows will include support by the Wytches.
“Don’t Let It Control You” is accompanied by a music video shot on Super 8 film by B-movie company Tinnitus Productions. Watch it below.
