Double Denim 03:33
Your Toronto soul, black boots trimmed with gold If you don’t know how to feel, I don’t wanna know Your protest Lennon cut and cold New York denim, If you got to ask, May as well just let ‘em Light fires in the dirt, go in the knees first I heard, Paint up the truth Wear your blue on blue With your thunder snare, brick red shirt and dyed hair, If ya can’t get the feel You know i’ll never care. CHORUS OOOooo Jailbird suit, no stripes just plain blue, Rustling cigarettes from the flat top roof, Graffiti lives, washed away warehouse highs, The bow-legged boatmen wanna Cut you down to size, Late 80’s soul, factory men not Warhol, Cant get the feel? I don’t wanna know. CHORUS OOOooo BRIDGE Your Canadian Tux, You’re running on good luck And you don’t give a damn Your Canadian Tux, You’re running on good luck And you don’t give a damn Can’t get the feel, you know I’ll never care

Hearts fall like rain And The lonely sound like blame The People grow tired of your game Hear the words writ in fire Hear the quiet down the wires Watch the sun rise up a pyre Babe, just wanna say Gold fires have sparked in my clay Babe, just wanna say I'll never take your heart away - chorus - Push comes to shove And hope stares down love And you’re counting out your racing blood Been so cold, felt so frozen Many called, few chosen Left behind I’m hoping for the hoping Babe, just wanna say Gold fires have sparked in my clay Babe, just wanna say I'll never take your heart away - chorus - Babe, just wanna say Gold fires have sparked in my clay Babe, just wanna say Ill never take your heart away - chorus - Electric storms shout Like your honey smiles out, in the open I'm hoping for the, for the hoping

Get Along 03:15
Cool my Heartache Miss my Mistakes Sell my Fortune I’ll give my Heart to you I’ll get along Or I’ll try to I’ll get along, or I’ll try to Oh, don’t treat me like a liar Oh, well you know that’s what I’m good for I wanna take your hand and start a riot I wanna watch your heart hit the floor Girls walk by with their silver eyes Bat their lashes and roll their dice The cold rains fall upon your head And fill the heart you left by your bed Sweep you down to the sea And you carve your name in a lightning tree I never said I’d wear it well But I’ll paint my smile and you’ll never tell Dry my eyes don’t look surprised that i’m alright Dry my eyes don’t look surprised that i’m alright Dry my eyes don’t look surprised that i’m alright Oh, don’t treat me like a liar Oh, well you know what I’m good for I wanna take your hand and start a riot I wanna watch your heart hit the floor Oh, don’t treat me like a liar Oh, well you know that’s what I’m good for

Shadow Boxer 03:15
A light breeze laid him out, Bricks and bones without a doubt Are made by different men, Yeah they’re made by different men. A cold wind cut right through His three jackets made of blue But he couldn’t tell you when, No he couldn’t tell you when All belt but no buckle, When you box shadows, bruise your knuckles All bells but no whistle, When you box shadows bruise a little. Hard rains washed him back Up the street to the flat Where he held his head Where he held his head Easy words cut the quick, Light hearts never fit With the stones that fill your bed With the stones that fill your bed. All belt but no buckle, When you box shadows, bruise your knuckles All bells but no whistle, When you box shadows bruise a little.

about

Following two acclaimed single releases and Bobby Gillespie’s (Primal Scream) seal of approval, London’s Modern Guilt are pleased to announce the release of their first EP, ‘You’re Welcome’, on Friday 25 June 2021.

Hailed by tastemakers including John Kennedy (Radio X) and This Feeling as one of the ‘Best New Bands’, Modern Guilt are “breaking boundaries with their genre-defying sound” (The Other Side Reviews). Drawing inspiration from Garage Rock, Soul and Blues, Jaz (vocals/guitar), Andreas Podda (lead guitar), Scott Thomson (drums), Glyn Evans (keys/organs) and Dan Williams (bass) “are re-igniting and modernising their era and genre influences in a strong flame of colour” (Listen To Discover).

‘You’re Welcome’ showcases the band’s more obvious roots across five tracks in a refreshingly modern light, with additional nods to the likes of Psychedelia, Motown, Surf and early Hip-Hop. The tracks are anthemic, whilst subjectively dealing with love and mistakes. Lead singer Jaz notes his lyrics on the EP “are a coming to terms with who you are and how you’ve changed. It’s about pinpointing where we stand in our own lives when things start to shift.”

The EP has been crafted in collaboration with producer Mikey Buckley across multiple analogue studios, with artwork created by Edinburgh based Marinello Studio.

The brand new video for opening track ‘Double Denim’ sees the band create a narrative somewhere between classic driving movies 'Bullitt' and 'Drive', set against a backdrop of desolate London streets.
