Following the release of the manic, ‘Wash Your Wounds’ earlier this year, and ahead of their tour with Dead Pony in December, Scottish indie-punks GALLUS have shared another taste of new music in the form of "Depressed Beyond Tablets" now available on Marshall Records.

The band’s latest hook-laden, Chris Morris-inspired slice of post-punk underscores the crushing realisation that life's more profound problems can't be masked by temporary fixes or pills. Produced and engineered by Dead Pony’s Blair Crichton, the track signals that it is time to spark genuine change and take control.

“‘Depressed Beyond Tablets’ came from a line Eamon and I found funny in Brass Eye,” jokes vocalist Barry Dolan. “We were inspired to explore the feeling of finding yourself beyond the tolerable limits of the world and not having anything within your control,” Dolan adds. “It’s almost like realising there’s no point in trying to right the wrongs in your life with medicine or self-help and wanting to experience actual change treating the cause, not the symptom.”

“The song was written whilst we were on tour with Therapy?” guitarist Eamon Ewins adds. ”Gian heard me playing around with the intro riff at sound check in Cardiff, so we took a quick recording of it and booked a studio in Birmingham. We had studio time booked with Blair to record a different song the next day, but DBT took priority, and we thrashed it out right there.”
