Scottish alternative emo quartet DUDE TRIPS have revealed the lyric video for their new single ‘In Between Days’, the latest track to be taken from their debut album Through Love & Death, You’re All I Have Left released on 31st May 2019via Side Mission Records.
The band will be embarking on a full UK headline tour in June/July 2019 with support from Brighton pop rock trio All Better, beginning with a special release show kicking things off on 8th June at Tunnels in Aberdeen.
Commenting on the track, bassist and vocalist Jamie Mathers says: “I remember being in the studio, hearing the pre-chorus and looking round to the band, and everybody had the feeling that this could be a single. Just that feel-good moment when creating music.”
“It started out being about missing someone when a long term relationship of mine struggled to stick. During the writing of the song it ended badly—from then on the main theme changed to anger. It’s probably the first song I had written for the record, and it blew my mind how different it was for us as a band musically. I’m a huge fan of Boston Manor, so I guess I was listening to them loads at the time.”
Since forming in late summer 2016, the band have so far released two EPs: Sad Lads—written on a whim in an attic, with the end goal of playing a single show in Aberdeen—and Keepsake, which was mostly written in a renovated granny flat. With forthcoming debut album Through Love And Death, You’re All I Have Left serving as the band’s first real fully formed piece of studio work, it’s a weightier affair than their previous records, whilst retaining the raw emotion of earlier releases.
Through Love & Death, You’re All I Have Left is released on 31st May 2019 via Side Mission Records
