Returning to the Singles Clüb on the eve of their latest, virtually sold-out, European run, the post-emo quintet explain exactly why they don’t think it;s the #RightTimeFor Emojis with what is actually a B-side release:
Talking about the latest single and its lyrical theme, vocalist Tades Sanville says:
Zealotry is probably going to kill us all. Which is fine, guess. It’s no better or worse than any other kind of annihilation. There’s some people of faith who seem to understand not everyone has to care what their book says, and that deserves thanks. But judging by how many people are showing up for the mega-church Sunday spectacular, complete with pyro and wirework, the meek are not likely to inherit the earth.
Joel Osteen locked people outside during Hurricane Harvey. Kenneth Copeland uses his church to buy planes, fancy cars, and houses. The camel can apparently very easily fit through the eye of the needle. David Easterwood is a pastor who runs an ICE field office on the side. Half of the archdiocese’s job is to cover for paedophiles.
I think some people can do it right. They’re nice people with a big nice ghost and I don’t mind that one bit. But I think most people are just so afraid to die that they can look past the evil thing their church has become.
Hot Mulligan’s 2026 European tour kicks off in Brussels tomorrow (Saturday 21 February), hitting the ÜK next month and finishing in Dublin on Monday 15 March.
