Single Focus: As A Rival

Answered by: Pete Cerni

Single title? Obsolete

What's the song about? A punk-infused anthem; fighting the reality of ageing and fear of irrelevance that comes with it.

How long did it take to write/record? It is a part of an album that took a year to write and four months to record.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? Released as part of our album, By Design. Recorded by Tom Read (Bodyjar). Mixed by Grammy Award winner Adam Kasper. We released a video clip and are just completing an 11-date east coast tour.

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? Musically, punk rock. Lyrically, I was looking back at what we had achieved as a band and I wasn't satisfied. It's about capturing the urgency of making goals reality, ignoring the roadblocks along the way.

We'll like this song if we like... Punk rock. Catchy hooks. Great songs. Determination. Whiskey. But most importantly... RIFFS.

Do you play it differently live? Our drummer adds little fills here and there, otherwise it is as is, yet louder. Better. What you want out of a live performance.

When and where is your launch/next gig? 8 Oct, Ding Dong Lounge.
