“On The Long Road,” the second track from British four-piece rock outfit COLLATERAL‘s much anticipated sophomore album Should’ve Known Better, has been made available. A music video for the track is shared below.
Dan Weller (of Those Damn Crows, Elles Bailey, Enter Shikari, Monster Truck, and Kris Barras fame) was the producer of this new single and the band’s upcoming album.
The frontman of Collateral, Angelo Tristan, comments on the new song:
“During the pandemic, my partner’s mum passed away with no real warning...
I see an underlying hope within the song
Angelo Tristan
It was a real dark time, and there was no way of escaping it, so I did the only thing I know how, and that was to try and get those feelings out. It’s about tragedy, but I’m starting to see an underlying hope within the song. After all, it’s a story that sooner or later, we all take part in.”
The ballad’s ambient, reassuring architectural structure is joyful and selflessly considerate, while the beautiful heartfelt chorus celebrates life, love, and sacrifice.
The new album Should’ve Known Better is due FRIDAY MAY 24, 2024 https://www.collateralofficial.com/
