Flesh Creep detail new EP, Glimmer

Glimmer follows the band's debut EP, We Need You To Bleed, which was re-released earlier this year, with "Bubblegum" arriving as the first taster of the new collection of songs.

Discussing the track, which was written primarily by their drummer James, vocalist Tom Patrick explains, “While it’s probably the most dynamic and dare I say, fun song that we’ve released to date, ‘Bubblegum’ is as confrontational and direct in its messaging as any song we’ve ever written. To put it plainly, there are those in our society who seek to abuse and exploit, and there’s the rest of us. We are not the same, we do not seek common ground, we will never be your friend.”

Discussing the EP, which is described as a work in which Flesh Creep are "looking for shards of humanity on the battlefield", the band share, “Glimmer takes a big leap forward for us as a band - questioning what FLESH CREEP can be. Overstepping often self-imposed genre motifs & authentically capturing both individual and collective journeys.

Writing the record, early trials of each song (barring one) grew in front of live audiences, “road-testing” the in-person experience & the types of connections we want to make along the way. We want to subvert expectations, we want to satisfy but challenge, and to do this we’ve made this with the utmost care, love & respect.”
