Australian punks Trophy Eyes will be releasing their new album, entitled ‘Mend, Move On’ on the 3rd November via Hopeless Records. Pre-orders for digital and physical copies are available now.
The band have released a new video in anticipation of the record. Speaking of the track, vocalist Floreani says, “‘In Return’ is about my mother and the events following her divorce when I was about 13 years old. We moved house and began our lives again – or so mum tried. Even though my mother had never let it show, I know now that it must have been a very lonely and hard time for her. Supporting three children through school and working three jobs and still making sure we never went without. When it finally came time for mum to love again, I was totally against it and made it very hard for her and her new love (they’re happily married now and have been for many years) to be together. Not long after that, mum received the news that she was suffering with MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and we were told that she could be reduced to a wheelchair for the rest of her life – so the degenerative properties of her disease. I wrote ‘In Return’ to apologise to her. Not for her forgiveness, but to let her know that I remember and I am sorry.”
Trophy Eyes, for fans of The Wonder Years, Descendents and their ilk, will tour alongside Neck Deep, Knuckle Pup and Seaway in early 2015.
