London rockers ISLAND recently returned with their new single “Everyone’s The Same,” their follow up to the previous single “Octopus,” out via Frenchkiss Records.
The track oozes with hard hitting riffs and a passionate pleading lead vocal performance that hits hard in every fashion imaginable. As it expands it only taps into even more of a sludgy feeling that hits a raw emotional feeling that feels triumphant, honest and utterly sincere.
About the song, lead singer Rollo Doherty had this to say:
“’Everyone’s The Same’ is a song for anyone who’s angry at being told they can’t make any sort of difference or can’t be a positive force for change. “I’d been getting really frustrated with this idea that as individuals our actions aren’t able to make a difference on the collective impact we’re having on the world, the idea that we’re all destined to have a negative influence on the environment just by existing, and that everyone is equally guilty. But the song is intended to be broader than that, and to capture that feeling of frustration at being told what you’re worth.”
