Our new single, ‘England Bound’, is released today. It’s the second single from our forthcoming album ‘We Are People’, due for release on 20th September and available to pre-order now.

 

 

We’re satirising British culture wars here – and quoting Love Island’s Molly-Mae Hague along the way! ‘England Bound’ was written by Stuart who had this to say:

“I play English folk music, and I even do morris dancing! Indulging in those English traditions makes me think a lot about how I feel to be English and British. When I was a teenager I’d have told you how proud I felt to be British: I felt proud of our multiculturalism and tolerance, and our institutions like the NHS and BBC. But with Brexit, the refugee crises, Windrush, Grenfell, the pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis, the debate around trans identities… political discourse has become so toxic, and my relationship to my country feels more strained. So this song explores how conflicted I feel about being English.”

 

‘England Bound’ is now available to stream everywhere:

‘England Bound’ will be followed by a third single ‘I Am People’ on 20th September to coincide with the release of the album. We’ll also be touring the album this autumn / winter. Find a full list of dates here.
