Televised Mind are back with a punchy new single, “Word to the Wise,” and it’s a masterclass in indie-punk energy with a nod to early 2000s rock. The track was originally penned by frontman Ste during the summer lockdown of 2021, capturing a hilariously relatable moment of frustration when a friend wouldn’t stop chatting after a long day of work. That raw, everyday energy translates effortlessly into the music, giving the song a candid, almost conversational vibe that fans will instantly connect with.
Produced by Billy Lunn of The Subways at Farm Factory Studios in Hertfordshire, “Word to the Wise” balances grit with polish. The influence of bands like Queens of the Stone Age, Bloc Party, Idles, and Amyl and the Sniffers comes through in the jagged guitars, driving rhythms, and punchy hooks, yet Televised Mind make it distinctly their own. It’s a track that hits hard without feeling overproduced, keeping the live-show energy alive in every note.
Since forming in Lincoln in 2023, Televised Mind have built a reputation for thought-provoking lyrics and blistering performances, and this single reinforces that promise. Catchy, unflinching, and full of personality, it’s a perfect introduction for newcomers and a satisfying statement for long-time fans. With December 5th, 2025 marked as the release date, this is one track that’s sure to get rock enthusiasts buzzing.
Televised Mind capture the modern punk spirit—raw, witty, and unmissable. ‘Word to the Wise’ hits like a late-night conversation you can’t stop replaying
