FRENCH MOTHERS Give Depression The Middle Finger On Riff-Ripper ‘LOVELY DAY TO DIE’
Daily electricity to load your batteries
19 June 2024
Band: FRENCH MOTHERS
Who: 4 indie rockers out of Leighton Buzzard, UK
New single: LOVELY WAY TO DIE
The first of a trio of songs will be unveiled throughout the year.
Mark Harris (singer): “This is a song about spending the day with a friend in the midst of struggling with identity and poor mental health. The mind can be rather impulsive and scary… You either go to Islington… or die. We knew we were onto something special from the start with this song. With The Ox’s (drummer Joe Oxtoby) delicious opening drums, the song feels like an ode to The Strokes or Fontaines DC, and with all the components falling into place, we love the pace and aggression.”
TUTV: This track is for those drawn to the deep end. This caring quartet gives
depression the middle finger with this urgent riff-ripper that has a jangly Strokes-esque flow and rattles in your head without asking from the first spin on. Its invigorating drive, voltaic feverishness, propelling drumming, and resolute vocals are infectiously stimulating.
This is a lovely day to be alive with French Mothers.
There’s always a you only live once light at the end of
the tunnel.
“Pleased to meet you, I’ve been lonely too”
