He said: "I thought about their massive influence down the years and wanted to capture some of that essence and energy. The song is about motivating yourself to get off the sofa and out in the world and do things, meet people, and enjoy life."

After taking a diversion into the literary world, writing three spiritual thrillers, and running a book-publishing company, Dom is now back to putting his energy into writing and performing music.

Having played in local bands for much of his youth, the hardworking singer has a special love for the carefree days of 80s, 90s, and 00s indie, which shines through in his music.

The track is a showcase of local talent and features Jake Gilbert from The Skeme on drums, singer and songwriter Paul William Gibson on guitar, and Albert Jarvis on bass.

Shot in Banbury's, Also Known As bar, the video was filmed and edited by Joe Homer from popular local band LAKE ACACIA alongside his brother Dan.
