Vocalist Rou Reynolds said of the track:
“Unfortunately the sentiment of this track still stands, more than 12 months after I wrote it. If anything, the atmosphere is worse than it was then. An increasingly hostile right-wing media acting as a megaphone for what we now know were exaggerations and outright lies, amplified by fake bot accounts on Twitter, reinforcing the prejudices of the ill-informed. It’s got a big chorus, though.”
The group have also booked a string of Scandinavian shows to close out the year. Those, along with all upcoming dates can be found below. Reynolds said of the upcoming run:
“It’s good to be playing a couple of new festivals, new to us anyway, this summer. I’ve heard good things about both 2000 Trees and Boomtown and they’ve both got awesome line-ups this year, plus we’re looking forward to interspersing the big festivals with a couple of club shows. With the last two UK tours being arena-sized, it’ll be nice to be back in sweaty rooms.”
