UK noise-rock trio A-Tota-So return with their new single “Death Rattle”, released today via bUTTONpUSHER. The track marks a new phase for the band, with guitarist Marty Toner stepping forward as lead vocalist for the first time.

“Death rattle is about the feeling of losing control while life keeps moving at a super fast pace. It’s about facing the chaos, noise, and pressures around us and realising nobody gets a free pass but even so we keep going even though we tend to second guess ourselves and over analyse everything thrown at us”  – Marty [Guitar/ Vocals]

A-Tota-So are a noisy alt-rock band powered by momentum, collaboration and a refusal to settle into one version of themselves. Known for their visceral live shows and restless creativity, the band have built a reputation on pushing their sound forward rather than looking back. 

After years of relentless gigging, including multiple appearances at festivals such as ArcTanGent, Strangeforms and Portals, A-Tota-So expanded their world with 2022’s Lights Out. The record leaned fully into collaboration, featuring guest vocalists from across the UK and Irish underground, including God Alone, The St Pierre Snake Invasion, Sans Froid, No Violet, Irk and more. That approach quickly became central to the live experience. Guest appearances turned from rare moments into a defining feature, with the band sharing stages with more than 80 different guest vocalists since the album’s release. Over time, that constant exchange reshaped the band from within and pointed toward a new chapter with guitarist Marty Toner taking on the vocal duties for their new material for the first time.

Death Rattle was recorded by JT Soar and Snug Recording Co. and mixed by Mark Roberts and mastered by Stephen Kerrison.
