The Lathums release thrilling indie earworm ‘No Direction’

Wigan indie rockers The Lathums return with their first new music of the year, ‘No Direction’.

Revelling in a ‘return to roots’ the three-minute blitz of buzzsaw guitars, speaker-bursting rhythms and a fervent, coming from the heart and soul of the band.

‘No Direction’ is a thrilling indie anthem with a succession of wiry riffs from guitarist Scott Concepcion. The track’s muscular sound conjures clear visions of a young band reborn, Alex Moore’s lyrical pre-occupations continue to explore the introverted hyperreality of life as a twenty-something clutching for meaning in a confusing world.

Frontman Alex Moore said: “There is no direction now but up. With time and experience I’ve learned that a bit of common sense and a clear mind is all it takes to accept my insecurities and not let them lead or consume me.

“What’s done is done, let the past go and spend time on becoming better. Fear and pain have no place in moving forward, they exist only as a lesson when you reach your final destination.”
