Believe In Nothing emerge from the UK underground with their debut single, What Would You Do?, a bleak introduction soaked in dread and existential weight.
Drenched in brooding textures and emotional severity, the track creates a path through pitch black themes, misery and catharsis, channeling a sound which feels as oppressive as it is oddly liberating. With not much hopefulness lying around here, there is an unfiltered ache of being, pulled from the shadows and laid bare.
The band unfolds: "What Would You Do? is a question to the listener. If you were witness to a violent public execution, what would you do? Stand there and film? It is about a singular protagonist, who's struggles have lead them to be knelt down before their now executioner. It's about their frustrated observation of only being observed by the gathered crowd, rather then helped. It's about coming to admit that their hard life has left them bereft of the will to live, realising that in this moment they can derive a frenetic enjoyment from their own murder. We wrote it amidst the crushing struggles of small town life, the British benefits systems systemic violence and modern life's miserable loneliness."
