Ball Park Music recently completed yet another absolutely legendary set at Splendour In The Grass, officially cementing their place in the Splendour record books.
How have they decided to celebrate? How else? They’ve unveiled yet another new track, entitled ‘Whipping Boy’, and announced another string of tour dates for their extensive national tour.
“It’s a basic song but it represents all I enjoy in good indie music: it’s fun and simple with some wacky sounds and some fascinating lyrics,” said frontman Sam Cromack of the second single from the band’s forthcoming new album.
“I wrote the lyrics after reading about some famous scapegoats throughout history. It seemed so sad that blameless people can take the fall for others.”
“Thinking broadly about the topic of blame was what lead me to that chorus lyric; I kind of subvert that old trope of ‘Will you miss me?’ by putting in the context of blame by asking, ‘If I become a target, will you miss me?'”
