Honest Work have released their debut single ‘Horses for Meat’ via Nice Swan

London-based newcomers Honest Work have signed with Nice Swan Records and unveiled their debut single ‘Horses for Meat’.

The four-piece band – Curtis Connor on guitar and vocals, Tom Simpkins on guitar, Matthew Osborne on bass, and Finn Fox on drums – recently finished their debut UK headline tour, and will perform at Left Of The Dial Festival in Rotterdam this week.

“‘Horses for Meat’ is a track that delves into themes of desolation, bleakness and the primal human instinct to survive,” the band explain. “In a literal sense, you might picture a character taking drastic measures to stay alive in a harsh winter landscape, but figuratively speaking the song addresses the reality of modern day struggles, and acts as a metaphor to the extreme actions we all might take when times are hard.”
