It’s been over three years since Slingshot Dakota released their last album, Break, but today they’re announcing a new album, Heavy Banding, and sharing its lead single, “Louder.” It’s a blisteringly precise power-pop song, leaning in to the heavy hooks they managed on their earlier albums and taking them even further.

It’s a song about empowerment and picking yourself back up after you get knocked down. “Even if it takes forever/ I’ll see you on the other side,” Carly Comando’s voice soars high on the chorus. “I just keep on getting louder/ I’ll always be a sound you can’t ignore.” She’s joined by a crew of vocalists on the song’s back half that includes Petal’s Kiley Lotz and members of Dikembe and Expert Timing, all repeating: “We’ll just keep getting louder,” conjuring up that power in full.
