Speaking on the release of the new single, the duo comment: "To be vague about it, “All the Problems” is a casual chat about the suppression of emotions, specifically among those who identify as males and what it could lead to as a result. The track goes through the motions of seeking a reason behind the resulting rage and offsets extreme, sometimes violent, acts with the World's passive and unsettling way of dealing with them. There's nothing casual about the topic and events itself, yet, socially we've reached a ridiculous, dangerous place where we feel like in order to survive we need to be. Essentially, so we can... "get on with our day"."
Having released their debut single in 2021 and debut mini album in April 2022 via their own Not Sorry Mom Records imprint, All The Problems is the latest track to be shared from the forthcoming EP following previous singles Skirts & Salad and Bite from the duo comprised of vocalist Sabrina Di Giulio and guitarist/producer Jonny Hillyard.
Discussing their unstoppable force of energetic pop and electro-punk the duo say: “It’s the ideas we’re fed versus the reality, and we try to incorporate that completely in our sound by talking about these hard topics in a digestible way,” Sabrina comments. “I think that’s why the songs work, because they have that juxtaposition between the lyrics and the sound,” Jonny adds. “I just want to flash in people's faces how fucked up shit is.”
