Boston-based DIY Indie Rock and Shoegaze band Gollylagging make peace with the end of a friendship on the single “Jackknife“ out now with a matching video set in outside in a local park. The song digs into the “emotional intricacies of parting ways with a loved one.”

This June, the group will perform live in Boston and NYC with Dino Gala and warmachine, and Carrying respectively.

On the track’s subject matter, vocalist and guitarist Jake Regulbuto says:

‘Jackknife’ is about the aftermath of friendship fallouts. You can want the best for people but know your relationship to them can’t be the same as it used to be.

On the painstaking production process, drummer Andrew Garas shares:

This one was a tough one to get right. We recorded everything for it in a short six hours and really had to put in a lot of time re-recording things and revising the mix to get it how we wanted it to sound. Our producer, Rowan, helped tremendously and put up with us asking for 10+ revisions on it.

Gollylagging is a Boston-based quartet who has spent the last several years playing across bars and venues in Boston and the greater New England area. The band shared a split EP in 2023 called fauna with going222jail and Dino Gala, and this was followed up by Dry Rot in 2024, with a string of singles in between.
