The Leeds-based band Bad Idea release their new single ‘Crash’ today as part of the West Yorkshire city’s long running Come Play With Me Singles Club.
Recorded during lockdown, ‘Crash’ is described as “the idea of putting yourself in front of a slow moving car or acquiring a minor injury of some sort to get out of your commitments, because you’re too tired and want to go home.”
Expanding upon this, the quartet’s guitarist and vocalist Sarah Sefton says “Crash is a sad song about exhaustion and anxiety, but also camaraderie. The track describes an anxiety that I share with most of my colleagues and friends – the idea of putting yourself in front of a slow moving car or acquiring a minor injury of some sort to get out of your commitments, because you’re too tired and want to go home. The song mirrors this feeling in the music with slow, drifting and overlapping vocals and sudden hard choruses.”
Come Play With Me is a Leeds based development organisation, record label and magazine first launched as a singles club in 2015. Since its inception the label have supported a huge number of artists from the region as well releasing over 30 releases on vinyl for Yorkshire-based artists.
