“MORE OF US (THAN THERE ARE OF THEM)”: SKINDRED’S BENJI WEBBE JOINS DEFENCES FOR DEFIANT PROTEST ANTHEM AGAINST INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION — WATCH VIDEO HERE!Following millions of streams, multiple sold-out headline tours, and appearances at major festivals including Download, Takedown, Turbulence, and Burn It Down, future alternative metal greats DEFENCES team up with SKINDRED‘s legendary singer Benji Webbe for “More Of Us (Than There Are Of Them).” As one of the scene’s most recognizable figures, Webbe joins the band on a fiery track inspired by the growing outrage, animosity, and political discontent of our time. Watch the video to “More Of Us (Than There Are Of Them)” (Feat. Benji Webbe) here. Singer Cherry Duesbury says, “One of the tipping points for me was seeing the first wave of ICE abductions taking place and the slew of public scandals that followed. With my immediately family living in a majority Republican state in the U.S., this hit home for me and struck terror in my heart more than previous news stories had.” She continues, “‘More Of Us (Than There Are Of Them)’ came from my desire to shed a light on the growing collective consciousness awakening of recent years to combat this as the next generation enters the workforce, world leaders continue to reveal their true nature and dictators and tyrants operate above the law in plain view. I’ve been inspired by the growing feeling that more and more of us are asking ourselves, ‘Why is this the way things are?’ I wanted to write a song that expressed my feeling that we’ve reached a point of no return, that the public is finally turning on the rampant institutional corruption. These whispered questions talk of upheaval and, ultimately, rebellion, and this song means to stand as an anthem as those whispers turn into screams.” |
