Alt-rock risers thistle. sign to REX RECS (ugly ozo) and share new single ‘tied’. Partnering with the new indie label founded by producer, writer and musician Macks Faulkron of REX Studio, ‘tied’ marks the band’s first material since the release of debut EP ‘it’s nice to see you, stranger’ in July.
Set to support Humour on their November UK tour, the group’s raw energy and DIY ethos have seen them lay waste to stages across the UK and Europe, with dates ticked off alongside acts including Westside Cowboy, Upchuck, Witch Post, Cryogeyser and Man/Woman/Chainsaw.
Detailing their new track, the group revealed:
“’tied’ is a tribute to the emotional hardcore bands that we grew up on. The lyrics explore the relentless grind of 9-5 work. It flips between optimism and a feeling of defeat… something we’re always looking for in our music”.
