"The whole subject matter for the song 'Bury Me' stems from the phrase 'nocturnal pollution' - a disrupted form of sleep that is informed by internal and external forces alike", comments guitarist Sam Kubrick. "The songs lyrics were written from the perspective of a person who is suffering from experiences such as night terrors and insomnia, and as a result dreads the torture of going to bed every night. When I first started the music for 'Bury Me', I had one pure intention which was to write the most quintessentially Shields track I possibly could. It ended up becoming heavily influence by our previous single 'Jordan' but as if it was written for our first album Life In Exile".

The band have also been announced to support Annisokay on their UK tour next month.

Upcoming dates:

09 Sep 23: UK Torquay The Foundry / Burn It Down Festival
12 Oct 23: UK Nottingham Rescue Rooms /w Annisokay
13 Oct 23: UK London The Garage /w Annisokay
14 Oct 23: UK Manchester Rebellion /w Annisokay
15 Oct 23: UK Brighton Chalk /w Annisokay
