about
Christmas is a time of joy for many but also the darkest time for some. The single biggest killer of men aged 45 and under in the UK is suicide and it is particularly prevalent around the holiday period. For this reason, we decided to write, record and release a Christmas song and we have decided to do this in aid of CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably).
In the band, we have all been affected both directly and indirectly by mental health problems up to and including the most tragic outcome. Therefore, this is a cause which is very close to our hearts. Some of us had secretly been wanting to write and record a Christmas song for years just for fun and this seemed a great way of doing that, whilst doing something for a very worthwhile cause.
We do of course recognise that suicide is not a gender specific issue and indeed CALM is not exclusive to men. However, unfortunately, social and cultural barriers still exist which often prevent men from seeking help when they need it.
Every penny of the proceeds from the sale of this song will be donated to CALM.
St. Louis DIY stalwarts Shady Bug's latest EP is languid, low-key indie rock that combines warm dream pop tones with alt-rock crunch. Bandcamp New & Notable May 11, 2023
Psychedelic, soft-focus dance grooves abound on the new one from Austin artist Dorio, full of limber riffs and gentle vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable May 6, 2023
