ODE TO BOILED SWEET MAY HAVE DEEPER MEANING
Have you ever contemplated life whilst sucking a lollipop?
London (Willesden) / Hemel Hempstead (Boxmoor) and Oundle (Northants) based rock group, Speedvark have.
Moreover, their group discussion evolved into a song, which they now present for release and critical analysis.
Drummer, confectioner, self-proclaimed philosopher and dinner party bore, Pedro Flatt said: “You can look at this song in one of two ways: A. it’s about a bloke eating a lollipop and 2. It’s about that deflating feeling you get when you realise your relationship is fucked.”
The rest of the band agreed. “Yeah” they said.
“It’s also about getting all sticky when the fucking thing melts in the sun”, added Mig, keys.
Come and see Speedvark play live: Monday 10th April at the Fiddlers Elbow, London NW5 3HS
