Way Shit Murder

Naarm / Melbourne based 3-piece Way Shit recently joined the Psychic Hysteria family, and this week release their brand new single, 'Murder', which follows their recent release 'Declined'. Both songs appear on their forthcoming 2nd album, Shame, which will be out on cassette August 13, 2021 and is available for pre-order now from the band's Bandcamp. 

"Shelley wrote this song after yet another spate of domestic violence related murders. It shows the frustration of having to sit through another day again and again and again and feeling how seemingly little the lives of women, trans people and people of colour matter to the broader consciousness. She came to the band with chords and the majority of lyrics.

"Even when you're trying to show support for victims you still have to fear for your own safety.

"'Murder' is the sister song to 'Don't Stab Me' from our first album, it's a more sophisticated take, it's looking more at the bigger picture, this is where the behaviour in 'Don't Stab Me' leads. We felt that the lyrics were so strong and important that we left this song intentionally to be mostly guitar and vocals until it got to the point where all there was was anger and frustration and we needed to get the words out.

"You can have the conversation as many times as you want and you can post on social media and the people who need to listen aren't listening, the people who need to learn aren't learning, so all you can do is explode." - Way Shit
