Skip The Use - Love & Anxiety Tour

SKIP THE USE IS BACK! Three years after the emotional whirlwind of Human Disorder, the quartet from Lille returns to make our eardrums tremble and to raise consciousness with "WE ARE GOOD" / "DISTORTER", the first double release from an upcoming sixth album.

Behind its evocative name, suggesting an effects pedal that would distort not the guitars but our very lives, the track denounces the established order in order to better break its chains: "They sell us their lies, they poison our veins / Feed us their fear, but we're breaking the chains", chants a Mat Bastard rarely so defiant, just before the chorus emerges. The latter, cathartic and rebellious,
