The band recently shared their new video for “El Lobo Negro” created by Callum Scott-Dyson. On the song and video the band's Miranda Zipse says, "There were many spooky and unexplainable experiences we had while we were locked away recording this album in King Khan's rock and roll vortex. An 8 foot mirror fell and shattered on our recording engineer, Felix, in the middle of the night while he was sleeping, an actual tomahawk seemingly jumped off the wall and missed Dylan’s head by a couple inches while he was recording Farfisa, and I kept having a reoccurring dream every night about a mysterious black wolf following me around. We wrote this song to capture the ominous and superstitious nature of our recording experience in making this record. Beware, for the spirit of 'El Lobo Negro' could be conjured by playing this track."

"El Lobo Negro" follows acclaimed pre-release singles "Anxiety," “Manipulate Me” "Can't Take It" and "Earthquake Water" which caught the ears of writers at The Alternative, CREEM, New Noise Magazine, Ones To Watch, Rolling Stone and more.

Miranda and the Beat, is rock and roll band featuring Miranda Zipse (guitar and lead vocals), Dylan Fernandez (farfisa), and Alvin Jackson (bass). Since their explosive debut in 2018, the band has been renowned for their high-energy live shows and fearless punk approach. 

Can’t Take It was recorded at King Khan’s Moon Studios Rock n Roll Vortex in a remote village on the German countryside. Written and recorded in just five days, the album blends all the best flavors from pure punk anthems played at a chair smashing intensity, to grinding R n B, to hypnotic edgy sci-fi alchemy and even some heart smashing balladry to boot. Miranda & The Beat have created a rock and roll storm so prepare your ears for a hurricane of blasphemy and tears. After extensively touring since their debut Self-Titled LP released in May 2023, the band is back in full force with their classic gut wrenching guitar, tear jerking vocals, and taste for blood.  

The band finally ‘Couldn't Take It’ and left the hustle bustle of New York City’s anxiety-ridden trust fund swamp and found a new home in the real Swampland (aka New Orleans). “If you need a soundtrack to an evening of Germs burns and mind altering mayhem followed by warm heart felt embraces and skid marks this is the band for you. The soundtrack to the real apocalypse has arrived and is waiting for you at your favorite record store. Real Rock n’ Roll is alive and well, the torches have been passed and the Molotov cocktails are being lit and thrown. Miranda and the Beat are the wild fire you have been waiting for to light under the collective asses to destroy patriarchies, topple kingdoms, smash colonies with a bold middle stink finger in place. Be forewarned…. And come find out what “Earthquake Water” is, it may one day save your life.”

About the band King Khan “Emperor of RnB" says: 
“I never thought I would see someone be able to play guitar with the ferocity of Link Wray, and sing like Lydia Lunch had a nuclear meltdown and morphed into Etta James and Yma Sumac. Miranda and the Beat ARE the quintessential heirs to our rock n’ roll throne… May the circle remain unbroken. Consider the torch has not only been passed but its fiery tale is ready to set the whole world on fire all over again.”
