Modern Age Music Song of the Day: The Scruff – ‘Vultures’

The Scruff have dropped their first single since 2018, with new release ‘Vultures’.

The Bedford-based trio sprung onto the scene when they bagged a Radio 1 Track of the Week with 2017 single ‘Her’ and have since gone on to play major festivals including Reading, Leeds and Isle of Wight.

Topical new track ‘Vultures’ is a welcome return, with a bop-along beat, catchy guitar work, and infectious vocal delivery from frontman Adam James Urwin.

The band explained the message behind the song: “It’s a hit back against the modern day phenomenon of the scathing comments section. Hours can be lost sifting through back and forths that wouldn’t happen in the street but are all so common in the Internet age.

“The song addresses the stark reality of coming to terms with a future where freedom of speech means thousands of hateful, unsolicited comments which impact on thousands of lives the whole world over.”
