Bristolians Getdown Service return with their second single ‘I Can’t Die Like That’ and share news of their new album ‘Massive Champion’
After what seems like a legendary run after their debut 2023 album ‘Crisps’ the band come bearing gifts with their latest single ‘I Can’t Die Like That’ and news of their second album ‘Massive Champion’. This follows the bands recent single ‘Radiator’ which they performed live on Jools Holland a few days ago. ‘Massive Champion’ will be available on August 14th via Breakfast Records.
The latest cut from the album (which we can confirm absolutely slaps) continues the bands vibrant yet beautifully poignant music. As always, the bands charm, wit and humour strike through the songwriting with lyrics such as “I wonder if I will ever stop thinking about killing baby Oleg, I hope not”. Genuinely one of the funniest lyrics that has ever been penned not just by Getdown Services but by any artists, maybe ever.
Speaking on the song the band explain: “It’s about self pity and realising that maybe all of the healing your inner child stuff you hear about isn’t actually total bollocks. Musically and lyrically I think it’s about us trying to clean up our act a bit.” Adding: “‘I Can’t Die Like That’ is about the feeling of simple things becoming complicated. We thought it was interesting to think about the ways in which something as straightforward as dying can be difficult. It’s also about clinging on to feelings that comfort you but aren’t necessarily healthy.”
