Instead, with bandmates scattered to their respective homes or with parents, he’s trying other things. They may not be heard in public again for a while yet, though. Singing these songs the first couple of times, they really pulled on the nerves.” “The new stuff is very personal, and I’m still a bit weird about it. He struggles to perform it live sometimes, he admits, but it is probably their best song, so it’s hardly surprising he might try to tap into that area again. On the previous album, he was telling stories of strangers he’d met on the road, apart from the ballad Agnes, which is about the death of a friend.
There was a master plan - almost an hour-by-hour thing of what we’re doing - and that’s all been chucked out the window.”ĭescribing the new music the band have already been playing on tour, he says he’s been writing from more of a personal perspective than ever before. “I’m not meant to talk about it, but it’s obvious, isn’t it? Something’s coming. “Your Love was going to be the first single from the new… upcoming project,” he says. The virus upheaval means Bayley now has to be cagey about plans. However, almost four years since their last album, with two new songs appearing recently - a collaboration with Florida rapper Denzel Curry called Tokyo Drifting last November, and last month, the quirky Bollywood pop of Your Love (Déjà Vu) - there’s clearly a bigger comeback in the works. The abandoned 2020 tour was about getting Seaward gently back into live performing with smaller venues. It was never an option for him not to come back and be even better than he was before.” He’s one of those people who is just insanely determined. He was back at the drum kit a couple of months after the accident, almost before he started speaking. He needed operations on his brain and leg and lost the ability to speak for a while. In July 2018, while cycling in Dublin, Seaward was hit by a lorry and suffered a fractured skull and broken leg. It’s actually the second tour they’ve had to drop suddenly.
“I think we’ve worked out a way of taking care of our crew, who are like family, which makes me really happy,” he says. Unfortunately, it was an “underplay” tour - where bands play venues smaller than they can usually fill to build buzz for new material - and didn’t get to the three bigger gigs at the end which were going to pay for the whole undertaking.
