Mixed Signals Releases New Song “Different Frequencies”
Scottish alt-rock band Mixed Signals, consisting of Ben Gardiner (vocals), James Armstrong (guitar), Leon Calder (bass) and Nathan Christie (drums), released the first single of 2026 called “Different Frequencies” on February 13, 2026.
The song reflects the emotional push and pull of young love. Lyrically, the track explores a relationship held together by the fear of being apart, even when both people know something isn’t working.
Co-written with Callum Thomas of Scottish pop-rock band Dancing On Tables, the track began life as a soft acoustic idea before being reshaped into a modern rock anthem. It was later reimagined and recorded in Liverpool with producer Tayte Nickols.
The band guitarist James Armstrong said of the song, “This song stemmed from my own personal experience. It's about being stuck in something that isn't healthy, but staying because you're scared of what life looks like without that person. I think a lot of people will recognise themselves in that feeling.”- The band frontman Ben Gardiner continued, “Through a process of trial and error, we transformed the song from a soft acoustic anthem into something much bigger and more dynamic. It ended up becoming a proper modern rock track.”
He added, “Unintentionally, our music often centres on the highs and lows of relationships. There are countless ways one person can make you feel in a single day, and most people can relate to that swing between heartbreak and hope.” - source : Apple Music
