People in the TV is the first single from the forthcoming album Whispers From The Wickerman by Australian hard rock trio boWsER.
Coming back after a lengthy hiatus, the band forge a new sub-genre that they have named #volcanic rock.
People in the TV lyrics are about paranoia and mental health in the digital age, influence of multi-media and those that would seek to control us.
The riff itself was inspired by Cream’s Strange Brew. Guitarist Brad Weynton says: "I saw a documentary about Soundgarden’s 1994 album Superunknown. During pre-production, producer Michael Beinhorn advised Chris Cornell to write songs like his favourite band as a means to alleviate writers block. I love Cream, so People in the TV is my attempt to write in their style."
The single release is coming with new film clip, produced by Timberwolf Films. Cryptic and creepy it has an erratic visual narrative, flicking between images of the band performing with
demonic looking figures parading as controversial public figures. Then there’s the kid in the evil clown mask.
Bassist Otto Mitter says : "Sections of the clip resemble people in the TV that you commonly see such as Donald Trump and other political figures that have a big influence on the world as it is today. The child glued to the TV screen represents the next generation and their exposure to the dark nature of media. We’re questioning how it will ultimately affect their sense of the world and their ability to make positive choices."
The exceptional quality recording is produced by acclaimed UK/Australian producer Steve James (Screaming Jets, The Superjesus, Mental As Anything) . The song has a slower, more grinding groove than previous releases and reminds the sound of bands like QOTSA, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets and Tool, .
Loud, dynamic and inventive, boWsER churn out rock music the way it's meant to be. With an apocalyptic intelligence and a crunchy, volcanic, riff-driven explosion of sound, it’s easy to see why boWsER were once hand selected to support the Eagles of Death Metal and became finalists in the QSong Awards.
