 The 3rd of March saw the release of Word of Mouth’s new single ‘Sad State of Affairs’. 

For those who don’t know Word of Mouth are a fantastic band local to the Worcestershire area. 

‘Sad State of Affairs’ is a great indie-alt rock track, with lyrics that I think most people can relate to.

The track is about going a little too hard to mask some of those scary deeper feelings and feeling like “I can’t see the wood from the trees.”

“We’re trying to talk about a serious issue in the lightest way possible, by making a tune that makes you forget about all of that and enjoy the moment”. -Nick

The lyrics, cadence, key and tempo of the track all fit with the message. 

The vocals are as great as always and the riffs throughout have that instant catchiness to them just like ‘Velvet Weekend’, after one listen, you’ll have them playing through your head for the rest of the day. 

A local band who put on great performances, sound as good recorded as they do live and put out tune after tune, what’s not to like? 

(And if you want to know what they’re live sound is like then take a look for a gig review right here on Frowned Upon.)

Check them out on all streaming platforms and at their next live show at the Marrs Bar in Worcester on Friday the 17th of March 2023. 

Cheers.
