After 2 years and 6 singles Tablefox release the 7th and final single from the 'BATTLES' album. Born across the struggles of the last 2 years, 'Keep Them Guessing' is perhaps Tablefox's finest work. Filled with a swagger that twists and builds into an epic symphony of sonic guitars, emotive trumpet and the unmistakable tone of vocalist Clinton Bell. Bell had this to say on the meaning of the track "Keep them guessing is a song about the different emotional masks we wear everyday. We use these masks to gain affection, sympathy, notoriety or infamy to name a few. Everyone uses these for good and bad reasons." The band is hoping to play the album live for the first time on Feb 25th after spending almost 2 years in the top 20 of the NZ Rock Chart.

Can't you see the ice beneath starts to bend when you condescend the way I try
She turns everything upside down
With you I feel like I'm skating on thin ice
Will it bother you if I don't want to hide
Can't you see the ice beneath me starts to bend when you defend the way he tries
Will you use the same words to hurt me again
She says she only spins for you
Do you remember all the words you used to hurt me
Are you giving me a test to make me a mess
I'm ready to hear what you whispered in his ear
I'll hold my breath until the conversation's clear
I'm falling again, I'm falling upside down again
She spins even when I'm in the room 
She spins like she's waiting for my doom
I feel like I'm skating on thin ice with you

Storm in Summer

Tablefox's latest release, titled 'Don’t Wait For Me To Be What You Want Me To Be,' draws inspiration from the 1993 cult movie "Falling Down." The song, led by singer Clinton Bell, delves into the complexities of human emotion, exploring the internal conflicts that everyone encounters. The title itself hints at the central theme, conveying a message about authenticity and not conforming to others' expectations.

The influence of "Falling Down" is evident in the song's narrative, mirroring the movie's exploration of the American dream and the struggles faced by the average person. The single confronts the darker voices that can haunt the mind, aligning with the film's themes of idealism, bravado, and the inherent flaws in humanity.

Clinton Bell, reflecting on the creative process, mentions that the band members brought a compelling melody and chords to him. The imagery from "Falling Down" quickly emerged, but he felt the need to infuse a thread of hope into the narrative. This addition adds a layer of optimism to the song, contrasting with the potentially bleak portrayal of internal struggles.

Drawing parallels to the movie's protagonist, Bell notes that while individuals may come close to the edge of breaking, they often refrain from crossing that line, distinguishing them from the character in "Falling Down."

The single is available March 29 on all streaming services.
