After airing new track, Sons Of Apathy - the first taster of their forthcoming debut album, All Our Kings Are Dead - on the Radio 1 Rock Show last night, Young Guns have made the track available today on iTunes.
"The song is about my feelings growing up without a father figure, how I was and am, very directly a son of apathy, and also how I feel that as a generation, we are very much lacking in positive role models to follow," explains frontman Gustav Wood. "With that in mind, the song is me trying to say that it doesn't have to be a negative experience. Instead of being lost, we are spared from any pre-determined direction or expectation, the lack of a father figure not being a burden, but rather a gift, an illustration of the kind of person to strive to be/not to be. Instead of being held back, we are set free. It sums up the overall feeling of the record for me, and actually contains the album's title in its first verse."
An extended version of Sons Of Apathy, backed with a cover of the Weezer classic, Say It Ain't So, will be made available on May 31.
Young Guns kick off their UK tour later this month. Click here for tickets. The album, All Our Kings Are Dead, is released on July 12.
