Ahead of its release they share new single Midnight Ferry<\/em>, out today, featuring their trademark slick guitar riffs and lively shout-along verses that lead into crisp vocal harmonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis song is our story, a tale of a night out and the truth of growing up in a rural town,\u201d the band explain. \u201cCapturing the adventurous spirit, trying to escape any mundane responsibilities, if just for a night. Just know you\u2019ll be brought straight back down to earth on that journey home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
