Rock n roll bruisers Massive Wagons have served up a brand new slice of rock, dropping new single “The Good Die Young” today. The boisterous, pop-punk-infused track features guest vocals by Colin Doran from much loved Brit group Hundred Reasons.
The song comes from their forthcoming seventh studio album Earth To Grace – set for release on November 8 via Earache Records.
Frontman Barry ‘Baz’ Mills states, “Getting old is (hopefully) guaranteed… growing old is optional. I’m no expert and certainly no doctor, but as far as I’m concerned they can take my body but you ain’t getting my mind or my sense of humour!! My dad always said to me when I was younger ‘I might be 50 on the outside son but I’ll always be 10 upstairs!’ And that always got me, hard to understand until you start to get some miles under your belt yourself, but when you do you start to know exactly what he’s on about, God love him.
Stay young folks, stay hungry, stay motivated, keep dreaming, and keep moving forward – coz as soon as you accept it’s over… it’s over. Grow old, do not get old.
Having Colin Doran involved also with this was a real honour. Colin is an absolute legend and has simply one of the most identifiable and best singing voices around, he just gives the track a totally different dimension. Big love Colin.”
Colin Doran adds, ““It was amazing being asked to perform on the track and think I’ve made friends for life. Matt O’Grady, the producer, got in touch with me when the album was being recorded and it all sort of snowballed from there. The track is amazing so I’m proper proud of it as well as being asked to be in the video with the guys at such a beautiful location.”
