Single title? The Badge & The Gun
What’s the song about? Taking back control. We’ve made it one of our mantras.
How long did it take to write/record? The song was written and recorded in a whirlwind. We had to wait a bit longer to get it mixed ‘cause we used Brett Orrison (The Black Angels).
Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? Maybe? We’re in the middle of recording and mixing our first record. Once we’ve recorded all the songs, we’ll probably decide what’s going on the LP. Thought it was time to come out of exile.
What was inspiring you during the song’s writing and recording? During the writing process there was a significant amount of change happening around us. Shaping new projects from piles of dust. The recording was quick and helped us to continue carving out our sound.
We’ll like this song if we like... It’s definitely a jumble of all our influences. Wah-driven, reverb-laden, psychedelic, garage rock’n’roll.
Do you play it differently live? It’s always a bit different live. We tend to drift from the road map as much as possible.
When and where is your launch/next gig? 22 May, Brighton Up Bar.
