What the press are saying:
i had to leave to go to 2000 Trees before this could have its DIY Magazine premiere but Online Editor
Tom Connick said this to me in an email:
“I like this lot, they’re cool and sad, like me.”
“they’re a group that relish the freer side of expression” – what Tom Connick actually said on DIY
“It’s not exactly Slipknot dark, but there are some over-riding emotions in the band’s latest single” – The Pentatonic
“Each snippet of creativity is cleverly and carefully placed, presenting a far more polished sound from the band than what has come before” – Punktastic
“there’s a thrilling progression on show from previous releases” – Spectral Nights
Get Out Of Bed is the first single to come from seven-piece emo outfit itoldyouiwouldeatyou‘s forthcoming EP set for release on September 23rd via Failure By Design Records on 12″ vinyl/digital/tape.
Get Out of Bed is a perfect example of ITYIWEY’s capability in expressing their creativity both lyrically and musically. It wonderfully merges math-rock with emo and warmly comforts you with vocalist Joey Ashworth’s soft and calming vocals. The song itself tells the story of Joey’s mental health and his relationships with ex-partners and friends. Joey was kind enough to share some thoughts on the track:
“In short, I was depressed and didn’t want to get up. I tried not to obsess and I couldn’t, I tried not to despair and I couldn’t. Instead I put all my effort and hope into a relationship, which, sidenote, no one should do ever. This song is about recognising that desperation and having a go at shrugging it off in a self-aware way.”
