A Quick Chat with The Belligerents

The Belligerents! First off… How are you?!
Doing real good, thanks for asking my g's

Tell us about your new EP - Another Way Of Living? 
It's our first longer body of work in almost 5 years, it means a lot to finally be getting it out. We all feel like it's our strongest body of work yet and we're super excited for people to be able to listen to it.

What influenced Another Way Of Living?
Lewi had a purple patch a while ago where he wrote a whole bunch of amazing songs in a super short amount of time after having moved to Melbourne. The majority of songs on this EP (apart from Suburbanite) are from that time. Lyrically the songs are inspired by things like growing into adulthood, navigating relationships, living in the suburbs and other relatively common themes of the human experience.

What’s your favourite track on the EP and why?
9 Times Out Of 10 is, in my opinion, the best song we've ever released. I fucking love it

How do you want people to feel when they listen to the EP?
Euphoric, with an unshakeable sense of optimism that's combined with a feeling of melancholy for times gone by.

What’s next for The Belligerents? 
Good question! Looking likely that this EP won't be the last new music from us this year...
