A Scathing condemnation of the ruling political hierarchy, Lifesize is an onslaught of energy with a flawlessly executed lyricism which vocalist Charlie Drinkwater comments on by explaining: ‘Lifesize’ is about the worship of the ‘strong man’ image often present in our political and cultural discourse. One where the patriarchal underpinnings of our society and political structure goes unchallenged. After a particularly grueling year, when people have looked to leaders for strength, we’ve found instead empty gestures and contempt. (‘Talk like a salesman, walks like the Pope.’) We don’t need more macho bravado; society needs empathy and compassion.”
