London-based independent powerhouse punk/rock label Xtra Mile Recordings and The Sleeping Souls are excited to present ’Weathering The Storm,’ the latest single to be lifted from the Friday, November 24th, release of ’Just Before The World Starts Burning,’ the explosive UK rock band’s debut studio album. Striking a deft balance between raw expressionism and reflective introspection, ’Weathering The Storm’ finds The Sleeping Souls grappling with the struggles of balancing personal adversities with the perpetual anxieties of the world imploding around us.
As the band explains of the new track: “‘Weathering The Storm’ is about being caught up in a situation that is completely out of your control, and trying to navigate your way through as best you can. It was written around the time Russia threatened to nuke Ireland and the UK. They had an animation that they showed on Russian TV of it being dropped off the coast of Donegal and obliterating everything – all of this just after I had moved there, of course! The stress of possible nuclear fallout coupled with some personal family struggles at the time helped me imagine an escape to a nearby island where I could survive the fallout.”
