"I came up with the lyrics and melody all in one go and took it to practice, by the time we'd played through it twice we'd pretty much worked out all the other parts and had it nailed.

“It was just one of 'those songs'. Once I sat down with the guitar, the song just wrote itself."

The band recorded the latest song at 300 Acre Studios in Birmingham in between COVID-19 lockdowns.
