Check out the trailer video below:
Recorded during lockdown completely DIY. The song is filled with antidotes about being a musician, touring and life on the road. Going from town to town, hotel to hotel and also, playing another show for no fee. Musically, the sound reflects the somewhat frantic nature of life on the road and the hussle of trying to make it in the music industry. Illustrating the harder edge to the duo’s sound. The song was written around the title idea and a central guitar riff. Once those two elements were in place, the song was written pretty quickly. Then refined and arranged in the studio.
Filled with energy and bite the song was made for a live show. As such, the song was debuted on the mainstage at Pub In The Park, Warwick. Their first gig since the pandemic. The crowd response to the song was electric. So hopefully, the song will enter people’s lives and become a live favourite.

Break The Chains’ is the duo’s most socially aware/political song to date. Inspired by the protest songs of Dylan, Woody Guthrie and of course, our namesake “Bruce Springsteen”.
The song was written after seeing the news throughout 2020 onwards where allot of social topics such as racism, gender equality and human rights were brought to the fore. We were compelled to write this song as a reply to all of this and also as a way to make sense of it all. The song is a call to arms to every human on the planet to come together as one united human race, be kind to each other and put out the fires of hatred and discrimination before it’s too late and there is no way back for us.
We are so happy to announce that our next single will be called ‘Aint Nobody Got Me Here But Me’ and it will be out on 29th January 2021. It is available to Pre-Save on Spotify now by clicking HERE.
The song itself is probably the most personal song we have ever written. It is written about the inner battles we face as independent musicians and all the sacrifices we make in the pursuit of our dreams. Be it a steady income, the ability to have a comfortable life, the ‘normal’ life path and of course dealing with the constant rejection. Knowing that your love of music will carry you forward. However, what happens when love isn’t enough to get you through and you want to give up. But we learn to accept this situation and as much as we may moan about it and wish for a more comfortable life we know that we cannot blame anyone for the decisions we make and we have to live with those decisions. There “ain’t nobody got me here but me”.
The song is written about the personal account of Chris and his most recent struggles of whether to continue with music or give up, realising that time may have indeed run out, especially as lockdown began and all planned work, festivals and tours were cancelled. Recalling the various stages of depression with lyrics that recall “spending my life thinking of a way I can make it out”. Also, the somewhat tragic yet witty recollection of buying a phone to make an urgent call for help only to find that the phone didn’t work. The song also recalls all the people who have come and gone and all the people who constantly tell you to “get a real job”. The song does however have a slight glimmer of hope when Chantelle spends her last pay cheque on a guitar as a declaration of faith and belief that everything will be alright.
You can also buy a limited edition CD of the single direct from us. These will be limited to only 50 copies and will be hand signed by us. You can get a copy below

The single was recorded during lockdown in the band’s own recording studio Renegade Studios and also remote recording in Nashville, TN with drummer Chris Brush.
Better Than This is an uplifting story which deals with the theme that no matter how hard things seem, they can always get better. It follows the two central characters. One, is a singer songwriter who is struggling hard playing in all the dive bars She can to make a go at being a successful musician. But no matter how hard they try they just can’t seem to make any progress. The second character a successful business Man who ends up loosing everything because they squandered all their money playing a game of keeping-up-with-the-Jones’. So they are forced to get a new job to rebuild everything. As the two characters continue on with their journeys they cross paths in the middle and realise that things will get better and they just have to keep working on their dreams.
This song recalls heavily on the duos love of storytelling and the musician character is semi-autobiographical, covering the struggles of being an independent musician in today’s world. Especially with the current climate where musicians main revenue stream is being pulled away from them due to the worldwide pandemic. But within that darkness we must have faith in our dreams and push through, knowing that things will indeed get better. A universal message for everyone.
