Brògeal have shared their new single ‘Vicar Street Days’, released via Play It Again Sam.
The track, produced by Richie Kennedy, reflects on the Scottish five-piece’s early days in their hometown of Falkirk, particularly their experiences at a local bar called Rialto where several band members worked.
The band explain the story behind the track: “We used to frequent a bar on Vicar Street called Rialto where Daniel worked and Aidan did deliveries. The rest of the band would come down for free pints and pizza and we made it our own social club. This is when we started our own club night called Vicar Street Social where ‘feedback and debauchery’ went on through the night. The track reminisces on drink and drug fuelled youth where we met plenty of characters and had an abundance of ramshackle and fun. The track is full of tongue in cheek lyrics about the mischief that we got up to down Vicar Street; ‘the ceiling got sticky with an aura of hell and the queue for the toilets like a carousel but as I look back now on that reckless young haze, I’ll never forget the Vicar Street Days’.”
‘Vicar Street Days’ follows their previous single ‘Friday On My Mind’, released after signing to Play It Again Sam. The band recently completed a UK tour, including shows at London’s Dublin Castle and Glasgow’s SWG3.
