WHSTLE DELIVERS “BAD DECISIONS”
Of the track, WHSTLE shares, “Our wheels are spinning and every turn is off a cliff… We are blindfolded, reckless, and determined to make a name for ourselves no matter how we get there. Make no mistake, WHSTLE is far from being a group of partiers. We spend our nights rehearsing, emailing, and plotting our world takeover. But we can’t help but notice the environment around us, which can be toxic and sometimes pretty heavy. Writing ‘Bad Decisions’ has become a therapy of admittance. We’ve all made mistakes, we all have temptations. We see the drug abuse. We see the mental illness that affects so many of our peers and role models. So we keep each other in check – in a positive path and far away from the distractions that come with being an entertainer. Yeah, we know what it’s like to make bad decisions. You live and learn.”
