Single Focus: Rat Catcher

Staff Writer

Answered: Johnny Adams
Single title? Seedy Morrow
What's the song about? Wanting to tell someone to change their ways, then realising that would make you a hypocrite, so just having a beer instead.
How long did it take to write/record? Not sure, exactly — at least twice as long as it goes for.
Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? Yeah, an album coming out early in 2017.
What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? Can't remember.
We'll like this song if we like... Early Australian punk bands and songs with the word piss in them.
Do you play it differently live? No, we recorded it as we would play it live.
When and where is your launch/next gig? Scumfest @ Queen’s Theatre on 26 November .
