Speaking of the single, vocalist/guitarist Shawn Mullen commented:
“Ode’s maybe the 2nd song we ever wrote. So it’s been around for a minute. We wrote it after our first gig in Dublin, in a venue [now gone] called the Gypsy Rose, and it’s been a live mainstay ever since.
It’s just a simple rock n roll song about filthy gigs and meeting people. One person, in particular, for me.”
Check out the single below:
With the bands’ two previous singles still getting considerable airplay in the UK, and across the EU, there is no doubt that ‘Ode’ will follow suite, seeing the band reaching even bigger numbers ahead of their scheduled UK tour with Harsh, taking in 25 dates in May starting in the UK before finishing in Ireland.
