Shortstraw Talks About New Album ‘Those Medding Kids’

Award winning indie rock band Shortstraw has just launched it’s fourth compilation album titled Those Medding Kids. The album contains 12 songs that are different from what their fans are used to. The songs express their liberty in music,it is dictated by any sound or genre. They wrote about whatever they were feeling and what they thought sounded good at the time  in a period of 12-months.

“Lyrically there was definitely a theme, and that theme was basically 2016-2017! Each month, as we wrote the songs, I’d just be singing about what I was going through at the time. A struggling relationship, a break up and the subsequent reforming of said relationship, along with the death of my first dog. It’s actually a pretty personal album,” says Thomas one of the band members.

Shortstraw consist of  5 members Gad De Combes (keyboard and backing vocals), Tom Revington (lead guitar), Russell Grant (bass), Alastair Thomas (lead vocals and guitar) and  Jake Rubinstein. “Committing to releasing a new song and music video every month is all about sticking to timelines otherwise they would have lost all momentum”, says Shortstraw. While writing the songs each month, some came more easily than others. A few of them came from old ideas reimagined: Ignorance is Bliss was born out of idea of Alastair that is almost 10 years old, whereas Our Simple Minds and The Less We’re Together came about in less than an hour.
