Press To MECO release new single “Gold”

May 7, 2021

Press to MECO follow on from single “Smouldering Sticks” with latest release “Gold”, a track laden with emphatic guitar riffs that show the band’s technical musicianship. The single, taken from the band’s third studio album “Transmute”, is a song that battles the immensity of modern life and our inabilities to switch off and take care of ourselves. The scuzzy track screams for attention and beats down your ears; a heavy stand out on the upcoming album due August 20th. Talking about the track, Drummer/Lyricist Lewis Williams comments: “’Gold’ talks about feeling overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information and input we receive in modern life and the idea that it might be devolving us in some ways. The battle between wanting to switch off from things to help your mental health but also not wanting to be ignorant to what’s going on in the world and not wanting to feel like you aren’t contributing in any positive way. Gold is also about the feeling of being paralysed and not wanting to create or say anything [Read More]

For more information or to pre-order “Over It”, visit:https://neverloved.lnk.to/autumn “’Autumn’ was actually the first Never Loved song ever written and also one of the first songs I ever wrote that I sang on”, recalls frontman Cameron Knopp. “I recorded it with Squire in 2017 before we had a band name and it was originally supposed to be on our self-titled ep, but we decided to save it for a full length. I wrote it while experiencing all of the emotions of a heartbreak. It’s a song I’m excited for everyone to hear since it’s a different side of Never Loved”. Never Loved formed when long-term friends, Cameron Knopp (vocals, guitar) and Jay Gayoso (bass), took matters into their own hands and aimed to create music that spoke directly to people.
