Heads up everyone! The title track of our new album is dropping as a single THIS THURSDAY 3RD OCTOBER on all digital platforms.

The song hangs around a repeated, gritty guitar riff that Polash might have found at the sonic intersection of Leo Nocentelli and Lowell George. Tim’s bass and Linc’s drums are in lockstep steadfastly marching through a funky swamp while Huw’s electric piano subtly ornaments their efforts. After the initial rhythm sessions were done, Tim flexed his percussion muscles adding guiro and triangle to the mix. Rich then contributed Tenor, Baritone and Alto saxophones in an arrangement partially inspired by the Reverend Al Green’s “Ram”. The bridge part then deviates towards an even more unlikely source of inspiration: The Goodies! Before things get too silly, Linc steps out from behind the drum kit to provide a guitar solo that elevates the mood. Linc chose the notes carefully and within his solo is a nod to our late bandmate and much beloved guitarist, Dave Sheehan.

Feel it in the dance now. Feel it in your pants now. Feel it all night. Alright!

Built around a gruff and swampy groove, the song makes no pretenses at being anything other than an insistent call to action: come and dance! No excuses. Don’t worry about tomorrow!

Stream it anywhere you like from this coming Thursday using this link… or look it up on the platform of your choice.
