The five-piece Welsh rock band Scarlet Rebels have released their latest single “These Days”. It is a song that consists of epic, arena rock combined with a passionate ballad. “These Days” is set at the very height of society’s angst.

The track was also released with a music video, where you can see the band performing the song inside an abandoned chapel. The video also shows footage detailing parts of their food bank initiative, which the band came up with in 2021 in order to make use of their live shows for foodbank collections. You can view the music video here.

Frontman Wayne Doyle discussed with Metal Planet Music how the band created the song “I wrote this song amidst some powerful storms; from both a climate and societal point of view! As humid skies clapped with thunder, there were daily stories in the news about the government not feeding the children of families on the breadline, which Marcus Rashford stepped up to shine a spotlight on. Imagine needing to point out that it’s wrong to vote for children going hungry?”

He then continued “There was also a lot of people getting outraged over the taking a knee gesture, where people wanted to show solidarity towards the Black Lives Matter movement, and parts of the media were trying their best to encourage the divisions in society. This song captures that moment in time as I saw it…”

Scarlet Rebels consisting of aforementioned frontman Wayne Doyle, lead guitarist Chris Jones, guitarist/piano player Josh Townshend and Wayne’s brother, drummer Gary Doyle will also continue to collect for local food banks at their upcoming 2022 headline shows. Those who cannot attend their shows but wish to donate can give approved items via grocery delivery services like Deliveroo. More information can be found here.

Scarlet Rebels’ headline album tour will begin on 20 January 2022 and continue through to 12 February 2022. You can view the tour poster and full dates below.
