Vocalist Paul Waller enlightens us about the song: “When I was younger I found militant straight edge guys and gals just the worst people to converse with. All they would talk about is how straight edge they were and how they despise people smoking and drinking in front of them. 15 years on, and now its militant vegans that always give me terminal earache. I get it already. It’s only been in the last 5 years that I have stopped eating meat myself so who am I to judge anyone else? I’m happy with the way in which I live my life and if you are happy with the way in which you live yours then that’s ace right? ‘Shambles’ is my story and mine alone, it’s why I chose to no longer eat meat and why I refuse to judge others that do.”
