In case you may have forgot what it’s like to attend a hot and sweaty show with 200-300 complete strangers all belting out the same honest and heartfelt lyrics like their lives depended on it, UK act Trash Boat has just shared a new live video for their single “Synthetic Sympathy.”
Commenting on the track which was released late last year, frontman Tobi Duncan said, “When you’re experiencing problems in life that are long term or permanent, it often alters the way in which your friends and family interact with you. Such a prominent thing can become the first port of call for conversation or serve as a platform for people to offer sympathy, as this is really the only thing available.”
“I’m not saying this is bad,” Duncan added. “I’m fortunate enough to have people I know that love me and know I love them. I think being honest and discussing these things are important. People need support. This song is just a source for me to vent about the looming dread of life, perpetuated by a never ending chain of equally inconsequential conversations, that after so much time and repetition, only serve to remind me that it exists until it doesn’t feel real anymore.”
