Man/Woman/Chainsaw find a “bittersweet take on the heart-on-sleeve love song” on majestic new single ‘Adam & Steve’

Man/Woman/Chainsaw have returned with a new single titled ‘Adam & Steve’, which is part of a one-off AA release with So Young Records.

The majestic track, which was released today (April 7), features dual vocals from Billy Ward and Vera Leppänen. ‘Adam & Steve’, will feature on one half of the AA release, while the other song is set to be revealed later this spring.

“We wrote ‘Adam & Steve’ last year and it’s our own bittersweet take on the heart-on-sleeve love song,” said Ward. “It comes from a place of wanting to find a little fairy tale escapism in modern romance.”

Listen to the track below.

The group will be playing a series of live shows in the coming weeks, including a stop at London’s Scala. Man/Woman/Chainsaw will also play at Boomtown Festival, The Great Escape festival and End of The Road Festival this summer. You can find any remaining gig tickets here.

Man/Woman/Chainsaw’s upcoming tour dates are:

APRIL

10 – Scala, London, UK
11 – Esquires, Bedford, UK
25 – Rotown, Rotterdam, The Netherlands

MAY

Man/Woman/Chainsaw was named one of NME‘s 100 Essential Emerging Artists to watch out for in 2025. The London-based band were praised for their “circus of orchestral grunge insanity”.

Writing about the band, NME said: “Their name may conjure the grizzliest and most gnarly of B-movies – and this jazzy quintet sure know how to petrify a village or two with their runaway art-rock chaos – but at their core is an elegant playfulness and future-proof curiosity. Grab your pitchforks and come get weird down at the front at the loudest horrorshow of 2025.”

In a four-star review of Man/Woman/Chainsaw’s 2024 album ‘Eazy Peazy’, NME praised the band’s “fusion of grand strings and pianos with more traditional, riff-based rock chaos”.

It added: “‘Eazy Peazy’ practically fizzes with youthful energy and the possibilities of musical creation. It’s raw and throws everything in its sizeable arsenal at the wall, however, basically everything sticks. The resulting effort’s audacious energy is a sight to behold and whips with enough force to spin your head clean off your shoulders.”
