Deafening

Clean Cut Kid

Mike Halls said that the song

was written at a point in the band’s lives where the damaging effects of interfering voices were weighing heavy on our creativity. It’s about the ever present battle between artist and industry, and the frustration of being caught-up in record label politics. - Dork

The band ultimately decided to leave their label, Polydor records in 2017. Their 2018 singles and 2019 full-length LP were released on Babe Magnet Records, their own independent imprint.
