Scottish punks The Vanities have announced their new EP Your Kids Are Gonna Love It, due for release via 7 West Music – stay tuned for more details.
The band have also released a video for their new single I’d Rather Die (Than Have A Job In A Tie).
“I’d Rather Die (Than Have A Job In A Tie) was written during a rough period of unemployment and being on the brew*,” explains vocalist/guitarist Alan Hannah. “Is the grass always greener on the other side? Would I feel happier to pick the mundane option, joining the queue for the slaughterhouse? This tune is full of angst, disillusionment and utter non-compliance played fast, rough catchy n’ scratchy.
“It’ll appear on our second extended play “Your Kids are Gonna Love It” which is our proudest record to date – it shows where we’re at now, through thin and thin and thinner…”
*On the brew; colloquial Scottish (Glasgow), meaning being unemployed or receiving unemployment benefits, similar to on the dole.
