Melbourne alternative rock band Rumours team up with J Hurley and Jot Maxi of UK rap metal group Hacktivist on their new single, CTRL + ALT + DLT. The band will set off across Australia on a national tour in support, beginning next Friday, November 4.
Produced mixed and mastered by long term collaborator Chris Lalic (Windwaker), CTRL + ALT + DLT is an aggressive soliloquy on an individual’s struggles with social media and the modern age of technology.
“The track narrates frustrations the user has with fabricated realities and the dystopian tendencies that the digital world can exhibit.” explains the band. “The music is intentionally dynamic to compliment the changing emotions behind these ideas. With influences from punk and hip hop drum breaks, electronic elements and classic emo.”
“Hacktivist loves a good wakeup call song, especially one that has undertones of dystopia or technological defaults!” adds Hacktivist’s Jot Maxi.
