IOTA Releases New Song “Take It”
Bristol-based five-piece rock band IOTA, consisting of Jodie Robinson (vocals), Josef Parkes (guitar), Sam Mattison (bass), Joe Dean (guitar) and Thomas John (drums), released a new song “Take It” along with a music video on July 15, 2022.
The band recorded the song at Bristol's Humm Studios with Ben Johnson and Idles' Lee Kiernan.
Just before the pandemic hit, vocalist Jodie Robinson set up a recording studio “through the urge to break out of mundane jobs and take creative control of our own music and time”, she states.
It was written by Jodie Robinson, Joe Dean, Josef Parkes, Thomas John, Samuel Mattison, Lee Kiernan, Benjamin Johnson and Jean-Paul Jacyshyn.
THe band said of the song, “Take It was inspired by the fight with yourself in a multitude of circumstances, work, relationships, socially and mentally. The continuum of holding yourself back and having this other side to yourself that is constantly telling you, 'you aren't good enough, you won't make anything of yourself'. The persistent reminder of how well everyone else is doing, social media controlling us and having a huge effect on us mentally. Constantly taking that push back and battling with your own mind as if it is a whole other person inside of you. We wrote the song during and before lockdown with Lee Kiernan who helped us build on the track instrumentally and melodically.”-
