As Flaming Wrekage’s brutal fourth album tickles your earholes, you know this is something special. …
Does anyone know what crypto-rockers Northlane are playing at? They’ve just unveiled their new single Citizen, which we are assured is a standalone release. Stream it below:
The track was was recorded by David Bendeth (Bring Me The Horizon, A Day To Remember, Paramore) at his studio in New Jersey. Longtime collaborator Jason Eshragian, who worked with the band on their Intuition and Impulse videos, directed the clip. Intuition was released to a surprised UNIFY Gathering 2017 crowd in January this year.
“Citizen is a song that was written about the First World police state and our willingness to live under the watch of those in power, for their means, while those who blow the lid on it suffer,” says Northane guitarist Josh Smith in a statement. “Writing this one was quite a mission, we went through five completely different sets of lyrics and the final incarnation of the song was the eighth revision. It took a lot of work but we are proud of it and beyond excited to share it with you all.”
The track comes right before they embark on a massive Australian regional tour and jet off to shows in the northern hemisphere. Tickets are available now.
