Single Focus: The Iron Eye

Answered by: Nick Lythall

Single title? Different

What’s the song about? It’s about complacency and people who don’t want to take any risks in their life or stretch their imagination.

How long did it take to write/record? Nailing the initial idea and basic structure only took about 20 minutes. All up it took about six months.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? There’ll be follow up singles towards the end of 2015 which may be part of a bigger release, like an EP.

What was inspiring you during the song’s writing and recording? Sonically it was about trying to capture the intensity the three of us feel when playing it live. Lyrically it was inspired by the frustration of complacent friends who don’t notice the friendship drifting apart.

We’ll like this song if we like... Nine Inch Nails, Muse, Prodigy.

Do you play it differently live? We play it exactly the same way live, just louder and meaner!

When and where is your launch/next gig? 15 May at The Triffid with a bevy of Brisbane’s best bands.
