WIRE: NEW SINGLE BY TROPHY SCARS
Trophy Scars, it’s fair to say, don’t believe in doing things by halves. In fact, they’re more inclined to do things in doubles. The upcoming album from the Morristown, New Jersey quartet, Holy Vacants, was initially worked up as a 35-page screenplay treatment by vocalist and lyricist Jerry Jones, and is conceptually even more ambitious than 2011’s Never Born, Never Dead EP, which took reincarnation as its theme.
Inspired by The Animals’ “House of the Rising Sun”, “Gutted” is a dark track about the ghosts of an angel murdering husband-and-wife couple. Courtesy of Pure Volume, you can listen to the track HERE:
