An interview Matt had with Rocksound, about the new songs and their meanings.
This one obviously regarding Wrench:
“That’s about the manipulation of the work force. I’m getting all political in my lyrics now [laughs]. It’s kind of how big business, capitalism in a way, can afford to treat the workforce with such throwaway attitudes. [It’s about] people who rely on their jobs to get by to survive [and] feed their families and how somebody, for the sake of making shareholders more money, can cut them loose. I think it’s a concern. That whole song is about the workforce and how it’s been cheapened since Margaret Thatcher got her hands on it. It’s a very strong song in that regard, as is ‘Captains Of Industry’ really. They’re both linked, and a lot of the themes on the four songs are quite intertwined.”
