The track is one of two new singles the band has slated for release in 2023 with a new, full-length album on the horizon for 2024. Drawing influence from their heroes in bands like Kiss and Cheap Trick, “Let Her Know” sees the group proudly wearing their influences on their sleeves, with an infectious intertwining of guitar harmonies, pulsing rhythm and melodic vocals. "We're thrilled to finally be releasing new music,” says guitarist-vocalist Steve Hickox. “It's been a long time coming, but thankfully with all the live shows we've been playing over the past two decades, the chemistry between us has never gone away. We really feel like we're picking up right where we left off 23 years ago, and we hope our fans and friends feel that way too when they hear the new tunes.” The vinyl reissue of Galaxy of Stooges is limited to 300 copies and is due for release in record stores everywhere on August 25.
