Massive Wagons have joined forces with Skindred and Dub War frontman Benji Webbe for a new song.
Following Fuck The Haters, Generation Prime serves as the latest preview of their upcoming LP, 'Triggered!', which is scheduled to arrive on October 28 via Earache Records.
Drawing influence from '90s-era The Offspring, the song deals in the band's familiar no nonsense rock sound, while leaning towards pop-punk, with both singer Barry "Baz" Mills and Webbe trading vocals. Baz said:
"NOW NOW NOW NOW, got to have it now! Convenience has turned people lazy, addicted to instant gratification, immediate satisfaction, cheap shopping, fast delivery - the prime generation, no awareness of the consequences of the way we live."
He added: "This is one of Stephen's riffs, he brought that kinda ska punk vibe and I immediately fell in love with it. I'd had the idea for the song floating around for a while - I wanted to take a stab at consumerism, and it just worked straight away. The song has got so many sides, it keeps changing pace and direction but remains solid and catchy. Then we have the absolute king, the master of ceremonies, Benji Webbe putting his vocals down on it, and writing some great parts. He has character and style by the truck, and it was an absolute honour to have him on board, always bringing the fire!
"We all had a feeling about this track from the off, I think it has broad appeal and is a live banger, so it was put in the set immediately!! The crowd just get it straight away, and it sets off the energy at shows, it's loads of fun to play."
Massive Wagons will embark on a co-headline UK tour this autumn alongside Ugly Kid Joe. The Comin' For You! '22 Tour kicks off at the O2 Academy Liverpool on November 3 and wraps up on KK's Steel Mill in Wolverhampton on November 11. Baz revealed:
"Absolutely banging times ahead, this UK tour feels like a real step up for us. It’s a massive honour to be heading out with Ugly Kid Joe. These guys were a huge part of our musical upbringing, I remember seeing the tees everywhere as a kid, massive hits, the band were all over record stores and radio, so to co-head a tour with them is a proper moment in our story. I think it’s gonna be party central, both bands bring a big high energy show with a plethora of catchy tunes, it’s gonna go off! I always wanted one of their middle finger tees as a kid but was too scared to buy one in case my mother gave me a bollocking haha. Hope to see you on the road, this tour is definitely one not to miss. Rock on ya rad mothers!"
