Having confirmed the release of their new album, ‘Summer Bones’, earlier this week, Hit The Lights have now revealed the lead track. ‘F**ked Up Kids’ is the first track to be taken from the record, due for release on the 23rd March 2015 via Pure Noise Records.
“F*cked Up Kids” is inspired by the fear older generations tend to have of a younger generation that they can’t understand or relate to,” explains vocalist Nick Thompson. “That same younger generation recycles that fear onto the next and causes these ideological rifts between us. We end up with this weird tug-of-war with each generation claiming the world as their own. In the end, we’re more alike than we know. We’re all trying to hide our fears, doubts and problems. We’re all trying to find a place in a world that’s always changing and we should find solace in the fact that we’re all fucked in some way and it’s ok. I feel that people who realize this can find personal freedom in that truth, and comfort in the fact that they aren’t alone, no matter what it seems. It’s dedicated to Rochester, New York for all the great times and amazing people it’s given us.”
