Emo punks Layover are back with a second single ‘Hunger Pains’. The latter, available to stream below, is taken from the band's forthcoming ‘Your Laughter Never Leaves’ EP. This new release will indeed be available on May 4th 2018 via Fox Records!
About this new single, the band reveals: “It was the first song we wrote for the EP. We class it as a bridge between our older Pop Punk style, and our newer Emo vibes. Originally Brad and Dom were messing with the idea. It just kept developing over time. Even though it’s our oldest song, we still changed parts of it over a year after we first wrote it. So we’re super happy with how it’s developed.The song is about how I (Luke) was in a really bad place with my mental health. And the guilt that surrounded me about dealing with it whilst my Mum was struggling with the late stages of terminal cancer. Lyrics like “I’d never want you to know just how much I was hurting, ‘cause it’s nothing compared to what you’re facing” show how I was hiding a lot of the things I was struggling with at the time. Things such as self harm and suicidal thoughts, even though in hindsight it was something I shouldn’t have been ashamed about. It’s something that we have tried to express openly on the entire EP. This song is one of our most energetic songs, and it’s so fun to play live because of it.”
