THE FUTURE US
Just a Machine
A song about AI, that thing that's either going to make our lives unimaginably better or destroy us all! In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the track.
THE FUTURE US
Letting Go
This is a track about letting go of the small stuff, so as to lead a happier and more fulfilling life. Easier said than done!
THE FUTURE US
Body Armour
In this song we sing about how we sometimes stop ourselves from fully enjoying our lives. Sometimes because of who we are and our nature, or sometimes because of a fear that we may look foolish or vulnerable in front of others.
THE FUTURE US
Latest Release - To The Stars
In this track we sing about what our destiny as a species might be, provided we don't destroy ourselves in the meantime!
THE FUTURE US
Still Blue
Grief is a bitch.
THE FUTURE US
Dirty Dog
She's treating me like a dirty dog!
THE FUTURE US
Ben Nevis
Hell hell, it's what we do to ourselves...
THE FUTURE US
Resolution
This song is about chasing life goals and bad incentives that leave us feeling unhappy and unfulfilled.
THE FUTURE US
Merry Christmas Happy New Year!
What can we say, we wanted to write a Christmas song and here it is! Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all! Gary and Joe.
THE FUTURE US
Another World
This is a track about climate change, where a voice from the future asks us what we did to stop us from destroying ourselves.
THE FUTURE US
Conspiracy
We wanted to write something about the onslaught of conspiracy theories that we seem to encounter with more regularity, especially on social media. Also what a battle we face sometimes, trying to detect the lies to get at the truth.
THE FUTURE US
Monkey Mind
Monkey Mind tells of those times when we over analyse situations and replay conversations in our head ad nauseam!
THE FUTURE US
Strangers Again
Strangers visits the drift that can sneak up on people who thought they were in a relationship long term. It also reminds us that we sometimes don't know everything about even those closest to us and that there is an element of the stranger in us all if we look hard enough.
THE FUTURE US
Real Life
We wanted to write a song that showed our appreciation of all those who have sacrificed so much throughout this pandemic and who have enabled us to see some light at the end of this crazy tunnel. We also wanted to make it a celebration of our emergence from lockdown, into a happy time where we can hopefully begin to enjoy our lives once again!
THE FUTURE US
Who Knows
This track is about the uncertainty of life and our hopes for the future.
THE FUTURE US
Fear And Progress
Fear And Progress is a 5 song EP, which was released on Friday, January 22, 2021. We thought we would just give 2020 a miss... Scroll down for a taster of some of the tracks.
ABOUT
We are a four-piece-band, formed in Glasgow and Ayrshire. Our music could loosely be described as Rock, however we draw on many different styles such as Folk, Blues, Dance, soul etc…
Where our initial tracks were inspired in the main by world events, our latest releases have been of a more personal nature. We hope to continue to produce a mix of topical and personal tracks with a Rock and Classic Rock feel for our future releases.
So if you like your Rock music with some topical lyrics, then we might be the band for you!
REVIEWS
Word on the Street
The Future Us - Fear And Progress
A chilled out rock n roll experience, which touches on serious affairs, such as the Trump Presidency, social injustice and the global pandemic.
This five track EP is both thought provoking and smooth in equal measure. If this EP was a day of the week, it'd be a kicking back Sunday.
