"In fact, when we were writing for this new record [the second Post Human EP], some of that kind of sound was influencing songs like ‘DiE4u’.

“I was quite familiar with it, I really love the track, and it’s so catchy as well. And it felt like we could do something a little bit more in our world with it.”

The band also performed their latest single ‘DiE4u’, from the follow-up EP to Post Human: Survival Horror, which was released on October 30 last year.
