August 8, 2021

Weatherstate are back with a brand new single and music video.

We ended up tuning the guitars super low on one side and leaning into the riffs with Alan. “The bridge section is just noisy nonsense, we ended up stealing an idea from Nirvana’s Drain You and started spraying deodorant cans into microphones in the studio. Current Dose to me has loads of Foo’s energy. We jokingly referred to this song as “if QOTSA wrote Welcome To Paradise” haha.” On the music video they add: “The music video is our most ambitious to date and part of the arching story we’ve been telling for the best part of this year. It was a pleasure bringing so [Read More]
