This song is about the middle-class and authenticity, an attack on all things highbrow and plastic. Throughout the record I play with the idea of escaping a masked reality. I like to explore this concept that we live in a form of hyper-consumer reality and we lack an authentic human experience (Google Guy Debord for more!). I feel like this is embedded in punk music a lot, and when people come to our shows and break everything (including our gear) they are acting out against this – that the world doesn’t really offer a tangible experience – so they make one. This song is basic and straight to the point and it’s meant to be. (Listen out for the sweet dive-bombs in the lead guitar break – I love that shit!)
