New Entry: Silverbacks Release New Single "Rolodex City"

Dublin indie punk/alt rock band Silverbacks have released their new single "Rolodex City".

The song is taken from their forthcoming sophomore album 'Archive Material', which will be out on Jan 21st 2022 on Full Time Hobby. Pre-order your copy here.

Speaking about it, vocalist Daniel O’Kelly said:  “Rolodex City is about a property mogul who has fallen on very hard times during a period where technology has changed the way his business and people work. Similar to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid getting caught out by the trains, bicycles and an increasingly small world, Mr Rolodex is running out of options. He visits a town in a barren landscape with the hope of flipping a bit of land, posing as whatever character the people there will trust - Rolodex City.

“Ultimately, our anti-hero has no luck and reluctantly ends his trip at a line dance led by Emma – feel free to join in!

“To help set the scene, we used a live drum sound and contrasting drum machine claps and mechanical percussion. The guitars are inspired by the twang of country music with some Verlaine techniques employed on the solo, for the riff spotters.”
