The Casbahs ignite 2026 with driving new single 'Crossfire'

North East indie rockers The Casbahs return with a punchy new offering, releasing 'Crossfire' as the first single from their upcoming album. Out now, the track captures the band’s signature blend of classic British guitar work and modern urgency, all wrapped up in a tight, anthemic package.

Written by guitarist Joe Teasdale and delivered with striking intensity by frontman Niall Fenwick, 'Crossfire' is powered by sharp riffs, a relentless groove, and a towering guitar solo that nods to the golden age of UK rock. Lyrically, it taps into themes of pressure and exposure, standing in the heat of the moment when there’s nowhere to hide.

Echoing the spirit of Brit-rock trailblazers from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, The Casbahs lean into their roots while offering something undeniably current. With a sound built on big choruses and even bigger ambition, 'Crossfire' sets the stage for a defining year, as the five-piece gears up for more new music and a growing live presence.
