Misgivings Launch New Single ‘You Don’t Depend On Anyone’

Approaching the tail end of a decade as a band, Misgivings are back with You Don’t Depend On Anyone, the track is the lead single from Dream Neighbour, the follow up to their debut album Hermitage that was released via Lockjaw Records in 2018. The album further expands upon the quartet’s approach to classic British punk rock poured through indie power pop filters. The band’s sound is a love letter to the British influences on American indie rock classics such as Husker Du, Guided by Voices and Jawbreaker, while also drawing inspiration from the fine example set on the South Coast by bands such as The Stayawakes, Latchstring & Harker.

“This song is what set the theme of the record for me, how the nature of music and lyric writing can sometimes lead you down a negative path. The lyrics are very raw to me. ‘You’ve never said the words, you’ve only written’; in life we have this beautiful way where we can write and be heard, whether we are writing lyrics, writing stories or sharing our thoughts online, and a desire to be individualistic as we do these things, but the real beauty in life is when we get to the point where we can share it with others, and we all can struggle with that part.”
