Dublin-based Scathed have premiered the second single “Compromise Me” from their forthcoming EP “Where Truth Occurs”, due for release on October 11th 2019 (full release details below).
Vocalist Ainsley Kavanagh explained to us what the song is about:
“The lyrics for Compromise Me are about your boss, your parents, your teacher, anyone takes out their own frustration on people they see as subordinate to make themselves feel better about their lives. Compromise Me is about not letting anyone’s cheap shot break your spirit.”
