Don’t Tell John’s latest single, Grandad, released on October 17, 2024, is a soulful rock track that blends gritty guitar riffs with raw, emotive vocals.
With Veronica Larkin’s powerful voice—often compared to Janis Joplin—leading the way, the song captures a sense of nostalgia and reflection.

Veronica’s vocals pair seamlessly with Jon Protass’s solid drumming and Eric Cretarolo’s sharp lead guitar, creating a sound that fans describe as a “female-fronted Soundgarden.”

As a multi-generational band, Don’t Tell John brings a unique perspective to the track. Formed by Mark and Jack Larkin of the 90s band Nathan’s Hand, along with the next generation, William on guitar and Veronica on vocals, the band delivers a rich, dynamic experience that relates across age groups.
The lyrics explore themes of loneliness and the passage of time, making ‘Grandad‘ a great listen for fans of all ages.
