The band enter new year with the release of fan favourite song Barbiturates.

The Kent four-piece starts 2017 with a bang as they send us on an emotional rollercoaster in their massive new track.

Don’t get fooled by the singer’s innocent opening lines or low-tempo notes. As Barbiturates unravel we quickly realise that there’s much more to the story.

The song’s changing pace masterfully reveals the band’s strength that lies within the building up of the drums and the crushing guitars, that burst into the air. Frontman Jamie Glass skillfully takes advantage of his distinctive vocal range to deliver the straightforward and emotionally charged message hidden in the lyrics.

As he explains:

I wanted to write a song that could contain a theatrical contrast of ferocious guitars and silence. Skin-crawling screams and pitiful whispers. Manic episodes and tranquility.

I used the subject matter of drug reliance as a metaphor for the inner battle people have when trying to suppress rage, whether it be from a chemical addiction or just stress. I felt that the majority of songs I was listening to focused on one emotion and stretched out that feeling over the course of a song. It felt much more human to show inner conflict and mood changes rather than just pretend I’m only ever content, or in love, or depressed. I can be all of those things within the space of a minute.
