Instrument-swapping trio Wicketkeeper have released a video for their new single A Lot To Lose, taken from their forthcoming debut album Shonk.
“Lyrically, it’s written from the perspective of a dead advisor,” explains vocalist/drummer/guitarist Simon Morley. “It’s a pretty simple message: when you’re dead you can’t do anything. So you might as well do a bunch of stuff before you’re dead. Don’t fucking hang around not doing anything, looking confused. It carries the same sentiment as that Shia LaBeouf video.”
“We’ve also opened a few sets with it because it’s so energetic and upbeat,” he adds. “It’s a good one to blast the cobwebs out when you’re first on at the Shacklewell Arms playing to your girlfriends and the FOH engineer. Lots of cymbals and open hi-hats for me to hit and it’s really fun to play.”
Shonk is due for release on 16th October 2020 via Meritorio Records, available to pre-order HERE.
