Balancing vulnerability with a powerful rock ’n’ roll attitude, the track offers another taste of the band’s upcoming second studio album. Released on Friday the 13th, it’s a fitting soundtrack for turning bad luck into something beautiful.

“We decided to give bad luck a taste of its own medicine and release our new single ‘Duct Tape Miracles’ on Friday the 13th,” says Split Keys vocalist-guitarist Joona Mikkilä.
“This song is perhaps our most vulnerable yet, but at the same time, our most electrifying effort. If HIM and The Hellacopters teamed up to write a song for an episode of Breaking Bad, it would probably sound something like this.
The lyrics are deeply personal, telling a story of struggling through an uncertain period in life. At its core, though, it’s about unconditional love for your partner. That love is what pulls you back to the surface, even when it feels like your entire life is being held together by nothing but duct tape.
We wanted to preserve the raw, rough-edged and human rock energy in the sound, something we’ve been refining in our rehearsal room lately.
This track offers another glimpse into our upcoming second studio album. Alongside working on the record, our eyes are already firmly set on next year and getting back on stage. Our long-term goal is to take our unfiltered live energy beyond Finland’s borders once again.
But before that, all we really hope for is that people crank up this new song and let duct tape work its miracles.”

The founder and frontman Joona started Split Keys to create music where you can hear the human touch—soul-humping rock that sparks energy and hope. Based in Helsinki, Finland, Split Keys is more than just a one-man project—it’s a community. On the stage and in the studio, Joona brings his friends together to shape the songs, turning every performance into a shared celebration of sound.
The debut album, Freeway Confessions, released on November 15, 2024, drew attention for its gritty edge and emotional honesty. Now, Split Keys is back in the studio, recording songs that will start a new era.
At live shows, the band leaves everything on the stage. Heartfelt lyrics, soaring melodies, overdriven basslines, and flowing drums, come together to create an event that resonates long after the show ends.
