Dark-edged alt-pop rock outfit The Haunt has ushered in a blistering new era with a massive anthem, the crushing body-blow, “I’m Not Yours.”
Powered by pulsating edm-tinged bassline and a take-no-prisoners, self-actualized chorus, “I’m Not Yours” is a weapon for the masses, a proclamation for the jaded, quickly becoming a fan favorite. The searing 2 and 1/2 minute track is about being done with the bullshit and taking your power back.
“I was in a relationship that made me feel very small, so when it was finally over, I had a lot of work to do to build myself back up again. And writing this song was really the biggest “f*ck you” I could think of,” offers Anastasia Haunt, the band’s powerhouse vocalist/co-author. “PSA: Your feelings are fucking valid and if you have a feeling about something or someone, you’re probably right, trust your Mf instincts!”
“People just make up this version of you in their head and you’re just supposed to be it for them?….Well f*ck that,” adds Maxamillion Haunt, the group’s guitarist/vocalist (and older sibling to Anastasia) who co-penned the anthem.
The single arrives in the midst of the band’s 28-date U.S. Tour as direct support for Mongolian folk rock and heavy metal band The HU. Scouring the entire U.S., visiting all new cities from the run they did with The HU in the fall, the ‘Black Thunder Tour’ is playing to packed theaters every night.
