Words: Sam Geary
London rockers COUNTERFEIT. kick out with new single '11:44' before hitting the road next month with Palaye Royale.
“Raise your middle finger, gotta let them know" is how vocalist Jamie Campbell Bower opens the gritty track with a searing snarl.
"We are facing some very real problems in the world right now and greed, corruption, ignorance and hatred are at the very forefront of them," states Jamie. "COUNTERFEIT. have and always will be a band that shines a light on personal and societal honesty and this song is no different. Inspired by visual artists like Jenny Holzer, songwriters like Bob Dylan and the current political and social climate we find ourselves in this song is about a feeling that me and my generation are faced with on a daily basis.
"We are seeing great change in these times and this song is a reminder that we must keep going and why. For without change and progression we are doomed. This is for all our people. Power to each and everyone of you."
