The track is cut from their new album, 'The Future Ain't What It Used to Be', which is due for release on May 19 via Earache Records. It will follow up 2015’s ‘Electric Blood’.
Discussing the song, frontman Tuk said:
"I sat down with my buddy Scott (Stevens) to write a tune. We sat for hours trying to come up with something that felt perfect, but were hitting a dead end. We said 'fuck it' and went to his local hang out, ate some cornbread, drank a few beers and talked about music. We spoke about T Rex, Queen and Slade, shit like that, how cool those big drum grooves were. Right then a light bulb went off and we headed back to studio with a fresh start and within hours finished writing the song, demoed it and tracked lead vocals! I was so fucking delirious I couldn't tell if it was good or not. A few weeks later, Scott sent me the finished demo while I was on tour in Kansas. I remember cranking it in the van outside of this fake old wild west town and thinking ,"Goddamn, this is so good!”
