Discussing new single 'Do As Ur Told', vocalist
Tom Rowan explains: "Its lyrics are specific to a bad experience we had in the music industry where we felt we were being taken for a ride, but we feel it's more broadly about being strong-armed into situations which are non-beneficial. The frustration we feel as musicians struggling to scratch out a living, and being squeezed on every penny we do make by other parties, translates to situations people find themselves in every day whether that's off of a colleague, boss, landlord or someone else in a position of power over them."
