‘Changing Trends’ sets the pace from the get go with its fuzzing guitars and pounding drum beats coupled with the nostalgic 90’s inspired vocals. The sing-along chorus hooks will have you belting out your new found favourite tune at the top of your lungs. This is a track that is stepped in a rich musical history and yet still manages to be entirely fresh, exciting and brand new.
The band said of the new single, “The verses in the track hark back to memories of spending time in seaside towns in the UK and the memories of them ‘In 20 years this place hasn’t changed’ and reflects on how a lot of us have shared similar experiences. As the song progresses the lyrics become more reflective in dealing with growing up ‘Take a hold of your life just a little more, run it back, change the facts and the future’s yours’.”
