Prey Drive release new song ‘Neon God’

PREY DRIVE have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Neon God, is the title track from the Norwich-based alternative four-piece’s upcoming new EP, which is scheduled to be released later this month.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Bradley Smith says, Neon God is about trying to chase a glorified lifestyle. Losing faith in your current lifestyle, finding faith in going out, getting dressed up, drinking, taking drugs, making horrible decisions just to feel alive and break away from a mundane routine. It incorporates following a certain religion or way of thinking like a cult.”

Guitarist Steve Larke-Mejia adds that the new song is his favourite on the upcoming EP, “the original song was an idea we jammed shortly after finishing our debut album, and that song is now the basis of the middle 8. The other parts are based around the chords in the middle 8 and the original song, but now they’re far more aggressive and the tapping stuff is a part I’m really proud of. The drumbeat was an idea of mine after hearing a lot of reggaeton music via my Colombian wife and realising beats like that were all over pop music and so it could be fun to try it in one of our songs.”
