Bambie Thug has released their brand new single REDRUM, out via their new label home Spinefarm. As well as signing a global recording deal with Spinefarm, Bambie Thug has also signed with Universal Music Publishing.
“REDRUM nearly wasn’t a thing, because Shaun [Lopez, producer] wasn’t going to show me the beat!” says Bambie Thug. “But when he played it I immediately knew it needed to be mine! I took the instrumental back to my hotel on Sunset Blvd and spent the night watching news, old protests and screaming ideas into my headphone mic, probably disturbing the other guests. The next day Shaun brought Scott Chesak in with us to add the middle section, which I think sounds like armed police banging on their shields. I was using the same old karaoke mic the Beastie Boys used on ‘Sabotage’ for the vocals! Working with Shaun is amazing, we just get on so well and he’s crazy talented. I loved our time together and I’m excited to continue collaborating with him.
“REDRUM is a masterclass, sonically and lyrically. Seeing the reaction it’s had live just emphasises to me how important the song is. It’s political, it’s anti-war, it’s a ‘rebel cry’ for the LGBTQIA community and for everyone who is fed up with living in this disconnected world. All I can offer to these turbulent times is my art and hope it wakes people up.”
