Tell us about your latest version.
On March 19th we released our newest single ‘Coasting’ on Run On Records. This is a song that was recorded in October 2020 at Parr Street Studios and was written by our guitarist about a time in his life where he felt like he was going nowhere and was just “Coasting” (hence the name). We were really happy to have released it when we did because we feel that with all the recent blockages, it’s a song that has become even more understandable to listeners than it ever would have been. before.
What do you have to come?
We have loads of tracks already recorded and ready to go, so while we don’t have a release date for other songs at the moment, there will still be plenty to come before the end of the year with our first UK tour in August!
