“Ballad of A Misspent Youth,” is an old-school rock ’n roll anthem for a new generation. Tuk elaborates on the inspiration behind the first single: “It’s a by-product of my upbringing in the South when I was cutting my teeth in the underground Atlanta punk scene before touring for a decade in the clubs and dives.”

The track marks Tuk’s return to the studio with producer Dan Dixon, and the music video was produced and directed by Hannah Gray Hall in Nashville.

Their latest single “Ballad of a Misspent Youth” has a “ Brown Sugar “ riff interspersed with a driving beat and spiralling guitars overlaid with Smith’s defiant vocals that grabs you with the first line and doesn’t let go. The Lyrics list a series of wrong turns accompanied by a refrain of being “too young to die and too fast and loose” before giving way to a climatic guitar break. This number will resonate with many and deserves extensive airplay.
