TV People Release Brooding New Single ‘String’

Hailing from the heart of Ireland’s capital, TV People are a Dublin four-piece who lace their indie and garage rock influenced sound with punk-infused undertones, TV People have now released their brooding new single ‘String‘ that reflects on addictions and self destructive behaviours. On ‘String‘, the four-piece’s attention to detail shines bright; maintaining the brooding, punk-tinged undertones and slowed guitar lines which have earnt early comparisons to the likes of Joy Division, Interpol and Editors.

‘String’ is about my past experiences with addiction and using self destructive behaviour as a coping mechanism for life’s problems. In the culture we have surrounding drinking and sessioning, the line between having a good time and seriously damaging your mental health isn’t always clear. Self-destructive behaviour is normalised and even encouraged. I’ve seen a lot of people around me going through it. It’s hard to escape from even when you’re aware that it’s a problem because it’s so hidden and ingrained in the way that we socialise. The song is about the feelings of hopelessness, regret and frustration that I’ve felt in the past when I’ve been stuck in that situation and the damage that they do to your mind over time.
