Silverbacks release new song "Rolodex City," announce 2022 U.K./Ireland shows
Dublin rock group Silverbacks have unveiled their new track “Rolodex City” today.
The track comes from the band’s forthcoming studio album Archive Material, which will arrive on January 21 2022 via Full Time Hobby. Vocalist/guitarist Daniel O’Kelly said this about the single:
"“Rolodex City is about a property mogul who has fallen on very hard times during a period where technology has changed the way his business and people work. Similar to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid getting caught out by the trains, bicycles and an increasingly small world, Mr Rolodex is running out of options. He visits a town in a barren landscape with the hope of flipping a bit of land, posing as whatever character the people there will trust - Rolodex City.
Ultimately, our anti-hero has no luck and reluctantly ends his trip at a line dance led by Emma – feel free to join in! To help set the scene, we used a live drum sound and contrasting drum machine claps and mechanical percussion. The guitars are inspired by the twang of country music with some Verlaine techniques employed on the solo, for the riff spotters.”
Silverbacks have also announced a slew of performances in their home country and the U.K. Tickets for these performances are on sale right now. Pre-orders for Archive Material can be made here.
