As promised, we’re going to tease you with the track listing a little in advance of the release of our debut album. We’re revealing them in no particular order, just as the fancy takes us. So, without further ado, we’re pleased to announce that the new album will include Redemption.
Written around 2011 by André Obremski, Andy Kelly, Edmund Kirby and Rob McDermott, Redemption was a firm favourite with fans at our early gigs. The lyrics deal with the theme of a poisonous love affair, and convey their message through the Victorian “language of flowers”. The song was based on a guitar riff that came out of an early jam session, and when Rob asked André for a blank demo to write a melody and lyrics over, he was shocked to be presented with a stadium rock epic over 6 minutes in length. The huge guitar and drum introduction and coda have made it a popular show closer over the years, and it served as the opening song at our legendary show at the Crumblin’ Cookie in Leicester in 2012.
