London-based indie rock / punk /alt band Home Counties have dropped their new single “You Break It, You Bought It“, alongside an lyric video.
The song is taken from their highly-anticipated debut full-length album ‘Exactly As It Seems’, due to be released on May 3 via Submarine Cat Music. Pre-order your copy here.
Speaking about it, vocalist/guitarist Will Harrison says:
“Having lived for years in shoddy flats, and having recently moved to the extortionately priced area of East London, we focused on our experience of renting. The song talks about landlords’ refusal to improve conditions for their tenants and their eagerness to evict anyone threatening high profit margins. In response, it encourages petty actions as if revolutionary behaviour: lose your keys, make blu tack stains, refuse to use coasters, don’t empty the toaster tray. In this way, it reflects the shift in lyricism on this album away from detached political commentary to using more mundane lived experiences of daily life, whilst still reflecting upon wider social issues.”
