Priestgate: One Shade Darker EP
Priestgate have announced their second EP One Shade Darker for release on 3rd March with the EP’s newest single “White Shirt” – an anthemic homage to their hometown of Driffield – arriving alongside. Speaking about “White Shirt” vocalist Rob Schofield explains: “It’s about Driffield – whether it be missing it, loving it or hating it… it’s about home. Where we’re from doesn’t really have a creative community, there’s some good joiners – just no bands. It’s about seeing the same old stuff growing up, I’d never really left the place all that much before the band started. I had it in my head that I’d end up making coffins with my dad.”
Commenting on the forthcoming EP One Shade Darker, Rob adds: “It’s our attempt at pushing the sound to another place, but we never sit down and say “let’s make this sound like X artist or Y artist” – we write each song then see if they all work together afterwards. It’s just how we are as a band; we’ve always found ourselves wanting to see what will happen next. It’ll always sound like us to a certain degree, maybe just with a different haircut if you will.”
