"Cheeky wordplay to make coal mining sexy in a song and this is my interpretation."
Single title? Coal Train.
What's the song about? Cheeky wordplay to make coal mining sexy in a song, and this is my interpretation.
How long did it take to write/record? The writing process took me just over two coal runs (one hour). After combining this defiant attitude with snarling guitar riffs and menacing tones we got the track laid nine months after.
Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? Existing release, Semi Precious, my debut album.

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? As this song was a dare that my work mates challenged me to write, I incorporated real scenarios that mining folk could relate to (like avoiding downtime), and non-miners just think I'm being naughty.
We'll like this song if we like… It's relatable if you're a truckie. It's fun and will have you up dancing from the first bass riff.
Do you play it differently live? We play this track the same as on the album, but I do drop the F-bomb to replace "hit that bloody bench".
