Inspired by a famous monologue from legendary 80s blockbuster Blade Runner, TAILGUNNER dive into epic songwriting with the second single from their upcoming album, 'Midnight Blitz', out on February 6, 2026 via Napalm Records. “Tears In Rain”, named after a phrase the movie’s antagonist, Roy Batty, uses in his last words, showcases TAILGUNNER frontman Craig Cairns’ broad vocal skills and the band’s ability to deliver huge, infectious choruses. No wonder the young British band even got heavy metal legend K. K. Downing himself on board as producer. “Tears In Rain” – contrary to the original movie quote – will definitely not be lost in time!
TAILGUNNER about “Tears In Rain”:
“‘Lost in time, like Tears in Rain…’ The most iconic monologue in cinematic history, and one of most legendary on-screen moments of the 80s. ‘Blade Runner’ has been a focal point throughout writing our new album, and none more so than here, on our new single ‘Tears in Rain’. Carrying a chorus for the ages, this is a track we can’t wait to take out on the road and have you sing with us, deep into the night. Made for those moments where the light fades and things get that little more epic, ‘Tears in Rain’ is an all-time anthem, here for the modern day.”
