Belfast band Girls Names have shared their new single 'The Impaled Mystique'. The song is taken from their upcoming album 'Stains On Silence', out June 15th on Tough Love Records.

Girls Name singer Cathal Cully said of the trying times before the new album:
"There was a finished – and then aborted – mix of the album, which was shelved for six months. We then took a break from all music and went back to full-time work.
