Your new Single ‘Comatose’ is set to release, tell us more about the single.
Comatose is a lament of social anxiety. The track was recorded with Chris Tilke in 2019 and planned for release alongside our previous single ‘Growing Pains’ but with the inability to take it to the stage over the last year it was put on the back burner. Now, we’ve decided to put Comatose into the world as our anthemic, energetic re-entrance after a year away.
Describe the track in two words.
Energetic, anthemic
Will we see any Music Videos for the any of the tracks on the album?
Music video for the single is available on YouTube now!
What else can we expect in 2021?
Playing at a few festivals and gigs as they begin to reappear – potentially another single release later in the year.
Where do you see yourself now in 5 Years?
Hopefully playing to big crowds on the big festival stages!
What quote or saying do you always stick by?
“Tip it on the side – cello, you’ve got a bass” -Jack Black, School of Rock
When you are at a gig, what are 5 things you cannot forget?
A lorry full of extension leads, our instruments, stage outfits, an open tab at the bar for Jonny and most importantly our mates who have been strong-armed into being roadies.
