As It Is um Frontmann Patty Walters haben just die neue Single "The Wounded World" veröffentlicht. Die Nummer stammt vom kommenden Album "The Great Depression", das am 10. August via Fearless Records erscheint. 12 Songs beinhaltet die Scheibe, die sich laut Band mit gesellschaftlicher Kritik beschäftigen.
"It is a commentary on the polarised and volatile modern reality, which we’ve allowed. The video depicts a not-so-distant dystopia, where present-day headlines and technologies are displayed in exhibits as the warning signs of an impending disaster. I feel that we as a society have embodied a destructive habit of talking without listening, surrounding ourselves with alternative facts and headlines, totally void of open-mindedness or empathy. Despite the labels and beliefs that all too often divide us, we are one people, and we’re all to blame.” - Patty Walters
Optisch geht's im Video des Quartetts aus Brighton in Richtung 30 Seconds To Mars meets A.F.I. Es bleibt spannend, ob die Pop-Punks sich auch musikalisch in Richtung düsterer Gefilde bewegen.
