New striking strokes

22 July 2023

Band: CANDID FACES
Who: Swirling squad from Hull, UK

New single: COMING HOME

Liz Shaw (vocalist): “It may seem like a fun jokey track that pokes fun at bigots and
abusers but for our guitarist it was a healing process and a way for them to write about
difficult experiences from their childhood, even if it was just an ambiguous four lines”.

TUTV: Coming Home is a pure indie punk-pop thrill propelled by rotating riff razzle-dazzle, a frantic drummer and a shook-up scream-and-shout chorus. Bullseye. Exhilarate bang-on tunes like this one are written/recorded/released to boost troubled states of minds and kick bigots’ asses with. Candid Faces call it trash-pop. It’s sonic fuel for instant use.

Lyrics

Tony doesn’t shut his gob
Compensating for his small brain
And various other things, another one that you can’t fix

Sometimes when I’m sat at home
I think to myself what a curious world we’re living in

I know you hate us
Why don’t you just leave us alone
You’re such a dreadful mix! (x3)
(I’m a dreadful mix)

Frank loves his cold cider
Frank loves his local rugby
Frank claims he loves his kids
Infact, he hates them really
Sometimes when I’m sat at home

I think to myself what a terrible world we’re living in

I know you hate us
Why don’t you just leave us alone
You’re such a dreadful mix! (x3)
(I’m a dreadful mix)
