"We haven't really written a song with low tuned guitars before and that song was originally meant to be a filler song on an EP and it ended up being a case of let's make it a single. As we started pulling it together I thought this could do with a feature and Ionei, who sings in Ocean Sleeper, is our producer as well and I co-write with him quite a lot. I said do you and Karl wanna jump on it and he said that would be sick. They were happy to jump on it and pull the track together in the end, which was awesome."In the full interview, Jaydon talks more about Tourniquet, what Karl and Ionei brought to the song, what it's like collaborating with other artists, how Tourniquet differs musically to previous single Never The One, the upcoming EP and what to expect, what they take out of playing bigger support shows, their album launch shows and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
