London-based alt-rockers Blockade are set to release a new single, “Better Off Without”, on January 23. Pre-save the song here.

The group states: “This track explores the tension between what feels right in the moment but what you know will be better off without in the long run, even if it hurts to let go“.

Blending heavy riffs and emotionally raw vocals, the track lays bare the struggle of holding on when letting go is the healthier choice.

With more singles on the way and an EP, Blockade are gearing up for their biggest chapter yet, featuring a fresh new image and their next single dropping on Friday, 27th February 2026.
