The track is from the Southampton band’s upcoming new EP MWTB
Steadily establishing themselves as one of UK emo’s most exciting rising outfits, MAXWELLTHEBAND have released the new single ‘Bother’, a hard-hitting and relentlessly catchy and energetic release that encapsulates their winning blend of noise and heart.
The existential nature of the lyrics and cathartic nature of the impassioned vocals make for a track that is bursting with emotion and charm throughout, and a plethora of frustrated listeners caught in the awkward limbo that modern day to day life seems to be will find a lot to resonate with and attempt to scream at the top of their lungs with the same gusto as showcased here. The repeated refrain of “I can’t write a song so why even bother” that comes at the end of the track feels miles away from the truth, and the way that they capture the angst and anxiety of modern life hits hard in a really powerful way.
