Krooked Tongue have today released their new single titled ‘Nothing Ever Grows’. Frustration set to music with a grit and grime meant for any size stage, ‘Nothing Ever Grows’ is a modern banger of a track that never lets up but lets you in. The chorus is a monster that fits the song while staying outside of that box known as conformity with a message within the music and a feeling within the margins.
Describing the single, vocalist and lyricist Oli Rainsford states: “‘Nothing Ever Grows’ is a right moody geezer of a song. It was one of those tunes that transpired really quickly and it just captured the essence of the mood perfectly. I think it stems from frustration with yourself when you can’t finish that idea, or that lyric. It’s an ode to the tortured artist. It’s a splash of cold water, a slap across the face followed by a shot of whiskey. A defibrillating wake up call to say ‘Oi, if you don’t get yourself in a better headspace, nothing good or prosperous can come out of it’. Hence ‘Nothing Ever Grows’. And I think that relates to every aspect of life, not just to creativity”
