about

Raisin Awareness, the UK's newest pop-punk band, is set to release its debut single, ‘Never Ending Story’, on Tuesday, June 13th, followed by a video clip release on Friday, June 15th.

The song highlights the disillusionment around the problems we face in the world, encouraging listeners to confront these issues head-on with solidarity and hope.

In the words of Jo D, the band's lead vocalist, and guitarist, "When you actually sit down and think about how fucked the world is and that you’re part of that mess, it can feel overwhelming. Some of us have gotten very good at justifying our actions due to their convenience, or some of us simply stick our heads in the sand.”

“Lyrically, Never Ending Story comes from my own battle with feeling helpless about the state of the world and not wanting to give up hope that if we come together in solidarity, we will prevail.”

Never Ending Story is the first single from the band's upcoming album, ‘Currant Times’ which offers a fresh mix of 80s and 90s punk rock and dance/pop culture, energetic beats, playful tones, and powerful messages about mental health, social issues, and protecting our planet.

"We want to make music that's fun but also meaningful," says Jo. "We want to use our platform to inspire change and connect with people who are trying to make the world a better place."

LYRICS

I know you wanna run, but there is nowhere to hide
Find an old shelter and, just bide your time
It’s all over, and everyone knows it deep inside
We all try to pretend believing all of their lies

It’s not about you
It’s not about me
Cause the world is disillusioned, and we’re all sat here drowning it out
It’s not about you
It’s not about me
It’s a never-ending story, and we’re all sat here blotting it out

We live off of the hope
That it’ll all turn out okay
And yet the truth is
These problems won’t go away
It’s the system that we live in, and we fuckin’ know it
The solidarity we share is not wasted

And it’s all right
I’m doing just fine
Even though I know I’m losing my mind
And it’s all right
I’m doing okay
As the ground beneath us fades away

It’s all about you
It’s all about me
Cause the world is slowly drowning, and we’re all hanging out in the cloud

It’s all about you
It’s all about me
Well, I’ll make my own decisions the world is fuckin’ freaking me out

Soon after, Daggi joined on bass, making them an unshakable musical trifecta inspired by bands such as Hot Mulligan, The Swellers, and The Flatliners, and an 80s/90s mashup of genres. ... more
