The Xcerts share latest track 'bury you'

Brighton rock trio The Xcerts have shared their newest single, ‘bury you’, ahead of the release of their latest album next month.

The band - who are set to release ‘i think i want to go home now.’ on 10th July via FLG Records - have now shared a fourth preview of their forthcoming sixth LP, that doubles as somewhat of a “sobering conversation” between friends.

Speaking of the track, the band’s Murray Macleod explain: ”Towards the end of the writing process I was taking stock and I wanted something that had - what’s the right way to put it? - not a sense of hope, but something that’s almost meant to feel like a sobering conversation. I had a lot of those with close friends of mine who were also having tough times during that period so I wanted to have a song that represents tough love. It also acts as a reflective conversation and a statement of intent for myself. ‘This ain’t your first rodeo’ is a funny line but I’ve found myself saying it a lot and it’s true.”

Alongside their latest release, which follows on from their 2023 effort ‘Learning How To Live And Let Go’, the band have also added a host of live shows to their upcoming schedule. The trio will now head out on the road for a handful of in-store performances around the album’s release, while later in the year, they’ll head out on tour in support of longtime friends, Twin Atlantic
