Bassist Rory said: “We’ve had this song hanging around for a while but never finished it. We just felt that with the way the world is at the moment it was time to release it.
“It was basically written about not trusting people in general but it could be interpreted about the way the Government is, with ministers going on TV and never giving a straight answer.

“It’s available for streaming as a single because we just wanted to get something out to the fans.”

“It makes you work a bit harder, push yourself to get things recorded and keep doing stuff.”
