Track Premiere: Abandon Ship - 'Say The Word'

With an EP due for release in February next year, indie pop-punkers Abandon Ship see out 2019 with the release of lead single ‘Say The Word’. 

Lead singer Luke Burywood explains how ‘Say The Word’ was written “during a period of time where one of my best friends Nick and I used to go out ‘on the sesh’ all the time. It was definitely way too much for our health and financials but there’s not much else to do from round here. It was a whole lotta fun and a lot of the lyrics are inspired by observations from that period of time.” Luke has hidden subtleties in the lyrics “Nick got me into The Menzingers who have a song called ‘Casey’ which is a Grade A banger. ‘Say the Word’ features the opening lyric ‘Oh me and Casey’ which is a nod to Nick and The Menzingers. Nick eventually moved to Canada which is where the lyric ‘Now Casey’s half the world away, it’s for the best I think you’d say’ came from.”
