This London alt-rock outfit emerge from a place of negativity and awful behaviour from people in authority who really should know and be better to celebrate rising above these kinds of acts, transforming yourself into a stronger, bolder person as part of the process on this first taster of their upcoming new album, due later this year.
Delving into the motivations and life experiences that powered the song a bit more, frontwoman Dolly Daggerz – who also displays her aerialist skills in the accompanying video – told us:
Smear campaigns ultimately backfire when you don’t respond to the bullies and instead go deeper into the truth of who you are. You can use their hate as fuel and rise so high above it that no-one can say anything that bothers you any more.
Words just ricochet because you sit comfortably in your own truth. There’s real strength in knowing who you are and becoming unbothered by those who are continually intent on misunderstanding you.
