about

Delivering slick blues riffs in a stampede of heavy rhythms, Band Of Missfits' latest single Crickets is an exercise in faithful rock'n'roll – complete with hand claps, face-melting solos and a fiery overdriven chorus. The Perth quartet make a triumphant return to band life after lockdown forced them into more solo-based ventures. Well, they are stoked to be back... and it shows. Expertly produced by Sean Lillico, Crickets is so overflowing with energy and passion that it's the closest you'll get to seeing Band Of Missfits on stage without actually being there.

lyrics

'CRICKETS'
The sound of crickets on the road, we still know where we’re going,
Heads buried in the sand, the future as we know it,
Footsteps leave an imprint on the earth we walk,
Like songs on my sleeve that burn into my heart

Chorus
Tension builds as we can’t break free, the struggle is real while we’re chained on our knees,
Are we just a mirage to you? Can’t you see what we see….
where’s the one to set us free..

Songs feed us like water to stay alive, being push and pulled, just trying to survive….
A tangle of thoughts bitter and fragile, Laid out on paper but to you it’s just futile

Chorus
Tension builds as we can’t break free, the struggle is real while we’re chained on our knees,
Are we just a mirage to you? Can’t you see what we see….
where’s the one to set us free yeah….

Tension builds as we can’t break free, the struggle is real while we’re chained on our knees,
Are we just a mirage to you? Can’t you see what we see….
where’s the one to set us free yeah….
