Miranda and the Beat are excited to announce the release of their highly anticipated new album, Can’t Take It, out October 25 on Ernest Jenning Record Co./Khannibalism in North America and Wild Honey in Europe (pre-order). Today the band is sharing the album’s title track along with its accompanying music video. The video which premiered today at The Alternative, was directed Miranda’s childhood friend, Sara Mardon and was shot at Pilates Punx studio in Los Angeles on New Year’s Day.

On the new track and video, Miranda Zipse shares:

“While recording the album at Moon Studios in Germany, King Khan played us some old King Khan and BBQ Show demos, including a skeleton voice memo with the phrase ‘Can’t Take It.’ The music came together effortlessly, and by the end of the day, we were all shouting ‘Can’t Take It’ at the top of our lungs. The video was easy for us to shoot because I was genuinely hungover from our NYE party with Black Lips. I definitely felt like I ‘couldn't take it’ while doing 12 hours of Pilates.”

The release of “Can’t Take It” follows the band's first single from the album, “Earthquake Water” out now on all digital platforms. On the track, Miranda Zipse dives into a personal and humorous childhood anecdote about her father’s emergency preparedness. “Growing up, my father hid ‘earthquake supplies’ in the garage, including a jug of vodka disguised as water. As a kid, I found this out the hard way, creating the term ‘earthquake water’—a family joke that still lives on.”

Miranda and the Beat, is rock and roll band featuring Miranda Zipse (guitar and lead vocals), Dylan Fernandez (farfisa), and Alvin Jackson (bass). Since their explosive debut in 2018, the band has been renowned for their high-energy live shows and fearless punk approach. 

Can’t Take It was recorded in King Khan’s Moon Studios Rock n Roll Vortex in a remote village on the German countryside. Written and recorded in just five days, the album blends all the best flavors from pure punk anthems played at a chair smashing intensity, to grinding R n B, to hypnotic edgy sci-fi alchemy and even some heart smashing balladry to boot. Miranda andamp; The Beat have created a rock and roll storm so prepare your ears for a hurricane of blasphemy and tears. After extensively touring since their debut Self-Titled LP released in May 2023, the band is back in full force with their classic gut wrenching guitar, tear jerking vocals, and taste for blood.  

The band finally ‘Couldn't Take It’ and left the hustle bustle of New York City’s anxiety-ridden trust fund swamp and found a new home in the real Swampland (aka New Orleans). “If you need a soundtrack to an evening of Germs burns and mind altering mayhem followed by warm heart felt embraces and skid marks this is the band for you. The soundtrack to the real apocalypse has arrived and is waiting for you at your favorite record store. Real Rock n’ Roll is alive and well, the torches have been passed and the Molotov cocktails are being lit and thrown. Miranda and the Beat are the wild fire you have been waiting for to light under the collective asses to destroy patriarchies, topple kingdoms, smash colonies with a bold middle stink finger in place. Be forewarned…. And come find out what “Earthquake Water” is, it may one day save your life.”

About the band King Khan “Emperor of RnB" says:

“I never thought I would see someone be able to play guitar with the ferocity of Link Wray, and sing like Lydia Lunch had a nuclear meltdown and morphed into Etta James and Yma Sumac. Miranda and the Beat ARE the quintessential heirs to our rock n’ roll throne… May the circle remain unbroken. Consider the torch has not only been passed but its fiery tale is ready to set the whole world on fire all over again.”
