Single Focus: Amberdown

Answered by: Daniel Connell

Single title: Too Late 

What's the song about? Too Late is about the realisation of getting older and someone Dan was dating that was young and indecisive.

How long did it take to write/record? The song was mostly written in one session. At the time, the band were all feeling quite tight as a group and the song seemed to entail a variance of all the members' music styles. 

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? The track will be on our next EP, which is hopefully coming out at the start of next year. This EP will exhibit a different sound, one we believe more mature sounding than the last.

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? Too Late was written during a phase in Dan's life when he was feeling anxious about getting older and was trying to live vicariously through his younger ties and relationships.

We'll like this song if we like... Bands such as Pearl Jam, Karnivool, Foo Fighters and Dead Letter Circus. 

Do you play it differently live? We try to play our songs close to the record with the odd change up. This way the listener has more continuity when seeing us live if they haven't yet.

When and where is your launch/next gig? The single launch will be at Rosemount Hotel, on the main stage, on 23 Oct. Doors open at 8pm and tickets are available from the band's Facebook page.
