Tummyache expresses frustration at big corporations on new single, "Stop, Drop, Roll"

Tummyache – the project fronted by Soren Bryce – has revealed the brand new single, "Stop, Drop, Roll".

Tummyache explains that the new single is "directed at big government and big corporations that further extend the general malpractice of societal attitudes, with much more directness. I feel that ‘look at your empire, stop and smell the rose’ with such a sneer. ‘Couldn’t sleep for days thanks to artificial sun’ kind of referring to both the idea of the longer working day due to artificial light becoming available, as well as the blue light of technology and it’s hand in the day to day psyche of humans."

"The final lines of the verses are directed at myself saying all I’ve done is ‘stop drop roll’ (panic, freak out, generally in a sense of there being a fire that needs to be put out) rather than organising and articulating myself against these powers as best I can. Over this is a varisped ‘news announcement’ meant to sound quite inauthentic about caring about people’s safety and well being."

"Stop, Drop, Roll" is out now.
