Arguably their heaviest track to date, Saboteurs' new single observes the inherently strained libertarian response to Covid-19. With influences as diverse as New Model Army, Biffy Clyro and Thrice, 'Shame' is due for release on 4 December 2020.

Familiarly dark and brooding with a hypnotic groove, 'Shame' follows the band's 2018 debut EP and acclaimed 2019 LP, 'Dance with the Hunted'.  Once again recorded & produced by Hamish Dickinson (Palm Reader, Redwood)  at Phoenix Sound, Nottingham

Lyrically, the track comments on the struggle within liberal democracies to reconcile the tension between civil liberties and the protection of society. And asks whether in fact, we are facing a Malthusian catastrophe as nature fights back against human population growth.

Ben Ellis (vocals/eBow); Rick Whitehead (guitars); Geoff Standeven (bass) and Pete Botterill (drums).

Here is our loud and raw Lockdown version of Believe Nothing Hurts, recorded from our humble abodes as a nearly live single performances. We are really chuffed with the way this has turned out and definitely might do another depending on what develops during this pandemic. Stay safe everyone, look after each other as much as possible and we really hope you enjoy! 

 BELIEVE NOTHING HURTS

 Your lies As they come in The lights will shine onto you Listen to their lives As they come in The lights will shine onto you Listen to their lives This time, believe nothing hurts This time, believe nothing hurts Your lies There's a thousand drowned And the lights will shine onto you Listen to their lives This time, believe nothing hurts This time, believe nothing hurts Oh, your lies As they come in They're drowning now In your own sweet precious melody of lies As they come in We're drowning now In your own sweet precious melody of lies

FREE digital album codes on @bandcamp #bandcamp 'Dance With The Hunted' was released on 4 May 2019 with reviewers finding elements as diverse as Soundgarden, Radiohead, Nirvana, Goo Goo Dolls, U2 and Korn: 'Fusing elements of alt-rock, grunge, post-punk, metal and folk, they create hard-hitting music that thrills and surprises....a heavy, emotionally-wrought album to be sure – there are no upbeat love songs here! But it’s a beautifully-crafted work, with deeply compelling, heartfelt lyrics, gorgeous rock melodies, and magnificent instrumentals. Every track is superb, with no filler or throwaways' (eclecticmusiclover.com) 'There’s a real smorgasbord of musical influences all overlapping in an eclectic and rich sound here. It speaks to the many with its relatable lyrics that really resonate and takes you on a real adventure with all its many musical twists and turns. There is definitely a darkness to the record, it’s sombre and hard hitting, kind of like if Radiohead and Nirvana had a baby' (theindependentvoice.org) '...amazing guitar that just blows through you and powerful vocals' (Muzak Review) 'Blew my f...ing tits off' (Lone Frequencies) Saboteurs are: Ben Ellis (vocals/rythym guitars); Rick Whitehead (guitars/vocals); Pete Botterill (drums); Geoff Standeven (bass); and Kirsty Marlog (backing vocals).
