Words: Ellie Ward
Produced by Theo Verney, Egyptian Blue follow their debut EP 'Collateral Damage' with the first taste off its follow-up.
Out now, 'Never’ is another jolting, groove-orientated post-punk attack from the Brighton-based quartet, and precedes their 'Body of Itch' EP, released on April 10 via Yala! Records.
The band's songwriters Leith Ambrose and Andy Buss penned the song in response to feeling alienated by the propaganda spread by fake news and the politicking of powerful elites.
“We need to constantly question what we’re being told, particularly from world leaders, whatever side they’re on,” says Andy. “My mum was talking about the Iraq war and the ‘weapons of mass deception’ headlines – it’s been happening for decades! She was so exasperated by it all that she’d say, ‘One day we’ll climb the mountain, but I’m never coming down.’ Those words stuck with me.”
