\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/p>\n

It’s been awhile since we heard from Montroze<\/b>. Perhaps too long. Nevertheless, the Bath-based group are back and have returned with intention. With a new EP, ‘Escape’<\/i>, set to be released in the coming months, the melodic pop-punk band has teamed up with Already Heard<\/b> to give you the exclusive premiere of their new single – ‘Shameful You’<\/i>.<\/p>\n

We touted the band for big things way back with our 2016 preview<\/a>, yet they spent the best part of last year writing what would become their forthcoming third EP – ‘Escape’<\/i>. They also spent last summer touring in Canada; a unique experience for an independent UK pop-punk band.<\/p>\n

‘Shameful You’<\/i> demonstrates Montroze<\/b>’s maturing songwriting, combining it with soaring hooks full of emotion provided by vocalist Jason Bishop.<\/p>\n

We recently quizzed Jason about the track, what to expect from ‘Escape’<\/i>, and their tweaked lineup.<\/p>\n

AH: Hi, Jason. First of all, what you can tell us about ‘Shameful You’<\/i>?<\/b>

\nJason: ‘Shameful You’, like so many other songs out there, was influenced by a relationship gone wrong.
\nLong story short; I was with a girl and she liked the fact that I was in a band, and would frequently ask me when I was going to write a song about her then I found out she cheated on me a bunch of times, so I decided it was finally time to give her her song.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

AH: It’s been awhile since you’ve released any music. You’ve also tweaked your lineup a bit. How has it been with Mike Yeatman coming in on bass and Ben Curd moving over on to guitar?<\/b>

\nJason: Yeah, our last release was a single last year but it’s been 2 years since our last EP! Bringing in Mike on Bass and moving Ben to guitar really opened things up for us. Ben’s creativity with writing guitar parts has been a key element in what we feel makes this EP our best music so far. Live too, both Ben and Mike have great stage presence.<\/i><\/p>\n

AH: ‘Shameful You’<\/i> is the first song to be released from your next EP – ‘Escape’<\/i>. How does the track fit into the overall tone of the EP?<\/b>

\nJason: The track is probably the most ‘poppy’ track off the EP, but there are a few different styles on the EP. We definitely feel that this song is perfect as the lead single, but we’re equally as happy with the other tracks. It’s just a bit of an insight into what to expect from the coming release.<\/i><\/p>\n

AH: How has the band developed on ‘Escape’<\/i> compared to 2015’s ‘Monster Under The Bed’<\/i> EP?<\/b>

\nJason: With ‘Escape’ we feel like we’ve found our true sound and really emphasised what we’re good at. We’re all proud of ‘Monster Under The Bed’ but in the 2 years that have passed, we’ve all improved as musicians, and on this release, in particular, we haven’t over-complicated anything, and just stuck to the sound that we’re known for. Overall we feel it’s a step up, but that’s for everybody else to decide!<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

‘Shameful You’<\/i> by Montroze<\/b> is released on 28th July and will be available through several digital platforms.<\/p>\n

More details about ‘Escape’<\/i> EP by Montroze<\/b> will be announced soon.<\/p>\n
