'May Day' is the second song taken from our upcoming 6th studio recording - a song that finds GWR celebrating their indie rock influences, from the Pixies-like rolling bass guitar intro through to the rousing, power pop chorus hook. 'May Day' is a song about making plans on your terms – a circle on the calendar and a reverse-engineered exit strategy.

Singer Will reflects – “I was having a tough time, and felt a little trapped, I was an easy target – but I soon realised after chatting to a couple of wise heads, that I had the power to change that – so I did. I picked a date, got my head down and worked towards that change date”.

Musically, the single has a solid dose of rock 'n' roll swagger with a shared influence within the band also giving it a ‘Smithereens-esque’ sound, as Will explains. “Dave (Newman, guitar player) and I had a few beers one night and uncovered a mutual love for The Smithereens – and since then I have been lucky enough to land a few of their albums on vinyl and I think you can certainly hear the influence in this song particularly.”
