Black Eyed Sons release new single, “Don’t Throw Me In The Corner,” the latest track from their debut album, ‘Cowboys in Pinstriped Suits’. The album is set to launch on January 31, 2025, through Off Yer Rocka Recordings.
The track features none other than Chip Z’Nuff (Enuff Z’Nuff) on bass. Reflecting on the single, guitarist Paul Guerin explains: “This song covers a range of situations from growing up in the avenues of Blyth to breakups and may just reference certain people in a cryptic fashion! When it came to the music, I’ve always wanted to write something where I modulate the chords a semitone both up and down without anyone noticing, haha! I think I pulled it off. At the end of the day, it’s a Rock ‘n’ Roll song.”
Accompanying the single is a music video. Commenting on the visual concept, Guy Griffin says: “This video is my surreal take on Paul Guerin’s lyric. Fast-paced with lots of twists and turns! Musically, this is a nod to some of our many influences like Mott the Hoople and Bowie, but also with a punk rock edge.”
