Aberdeen, Scotland trio Cold Years have released their new single, “Home,” a bittersweet hometown anthem that melds punk with heart-on-sleeve blue collar rock’n’roll. Speaking of the song, frontman Ross Gordon says, “‘Home' talks you through the pitfalls of growing up in small places. Industry is in decline, the shopping centres are empty, Aberdeen is a deserted dirty ghost town, but I love it. I love my home, and I love the people there.”

Last month, the band returned with its storming new single, “Headstone,”a song that finds the trio returning with a new found dynamism, regaling Ross' years of debauchery and all that comes with it.

"I really had a tough time of it a while back, and I was partying too hard,” Gordon said. “This song really opens that up and exposes the vulnerability that comes with growing up. It kind of peaks and troughs between the highs of being up, and the lows that come crashing into you the next day, and the guilt associated with that. It’s like, if I keep doing this, I’ll die. I’ll die too young and I don’t want that to happen. So, I need to get my head in the game and calm it down.”

The accompanying clip is “super high energy, verging on total loss of control,” Gordon continues. “We wanted a music video to match. It's also the first part in a trilogy based around adolescent growth and the pitfalls that surround it.”
