Mount Famine are a Derby based 80s and 90s influenced indie rock n’ roll project with big hooks, soaring vocals and driving guitars.

The band return with a new single ‘Offcuts’ on 15 September; a 3 minute alternative guitar / synth driven anthem reminiscent of early Manic Street Preachers, Bruce Springsteen and New Order. 

The song is a rousing anthem to the drudgery of Executive Management and work hierarchies and the ‘dispose-ability’ of workers.

Offcuts

Lyrics:
Don't you bend when they say when
Ditch your friends if they look down
Its there fault for falling for
The oldest ploy the golden toys we
Don't really need at all at all
Don't really need at all at all

You cant blend please don't pretend
Near the end when they fall down
Its there fault for falling for
The oldest ploy the golden toys we
Don't really need at all at all
Don't really need at all at all

There's a little friction when you know whats missing
All that time you wasted going around knowing better
Could have done more so many chores what's it all for
Now it ends so casually lets pretend your mad at me

It's the same addiction I'm no good at kicking
Endless time was wasted going around knowing better
Could have done more so many chores what's it all for
Now it ends so casually lets pretend your mad at me
Now it ends so casually don't extend this agony

Don't hit send when they defend 
Different trends that they put down
Its there fault for falling for
The oldest ploy the golden toys we
Don't really need at all at all
Don't really need at all at all

You wont blend please don't descend 
Just de-friend when they fall down
Its there fault for falling for
The oldest ploy the golden toys we
Don't really need at all at all
Don't really need at all at all

You might think its fiction but that's how were living
Endless contemplation going around knowing better
Could have done more so many chores what's it all for
Now it ends so casually lets pretend your mad at me

Now I know your giving all those things you bring in
Endless summer wasting going around knowing better
Could have done more so many chores what's it all for
Now it ends so casually lets pretend your mad at me
Now it ends so casually lets prevent that agony

I know how it goes...

I know my only way around
I'll go where they wont make it loud
I'm done with making you so proud
I can't just work it out

Casual Friction (Emvoice Keela)

The irony of someone tasting their own medicine, ’Nerve’ has a melody that will come to mind when someone drives you mad. 'Nerve’ is a frustration song dedicated to those that are tired of people that act above others, rather than equal. We're confronted with this in so many situations, whether that be at work, socially, or via the media; there can be a total lack of care and responsibility from people who believe they are more 'worthy' and 'desirable'. In a nutshell, 'Nerve' is standing up to those indiviuals and saying "get off your high horse!".
