As the release of their new album, ‘Heaven Can Wait<\/a>\u2019<\/em>, gets closer\u00a0Trash Boat\u00a0<\/strong>has shared another track from the record. \u2018Are You Ready Now?’\u00a0<\/em>sees the St Albans group embrace a heavier sound with Tobi Duncan’s towering vocals and anxiety-laden words.<\/p>\n

“‘Are You Ready Now’ is an ode to our seemingly approaching doom as a society. As cliche as that is and as often as people say this from era to era, each generation must learn their own suffering,”<\/em> explains Duncan. “We see it every day on the news and in our lives, crime is increasing, corruption, depression, global warming, deceit and pain. We all try our best to live under the shadow of these problems while making the best of things, but it remains difficult when we are reminded so frequently of how bad things are getting. The little efforts we as people can make seem more diminished with each passing tragedy and it makes small acts of kindness and selflessness seem futile.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Although it’s influenced by the downbeat mindset of many, Duncan goes on to say the track exemplifies the hint of determination all of us have. “We should all aspire to continue, each of us doing whatever we can to make the world a brighter place. Our music is just one thing we are giving to the world to try and make it brighter. This is a melancholy song, but hopefully it also inspires hope and a sense of honour and duty whilst also reassuring people that its not your responsibility to shoulder the entire worlds worth of burdens. I hope people can listen to this song and feel a combination of responsibility, but also relief and reassurance that there are still things we can enjoy for what they are. No matter how seemingly small.”<\/em><\/p>\n

‘Heaven Can Wait\u2019<\/em> is released on October 4th via Hopeless Records<\/strong>. Pre-order\/pre-save here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
