SHVPES have launched their new single “Calloused Hands” via the below music video. The group will be releasing their new album “Greater Than” through Search And Destroy/Spinefarm on November 09th with pre-orders available now at this location. Speaking of this latest single the band’s vocalist Griffin Dickinson commented:
“This is the first song we wrote together after coming back from our first European tour. We’d been out for 6 weeks, experiencing something we’d always dreamed of… As soon as we got back, as with most tours, reality hits and you’re sucked back into the ‘real world’ that pressures you to go and get a ‘real job’ I.e. doing something you probably don’t care about, for some narcissistic company that equally doesn’t care about you. This song was all about reminding myself why I don’t want to be a part of that. With lyrics like “capitalise; cannibalise” & “paralysed by your next fix” it’s exploring the futility of the paper chase.”
