"I bet a clean conscience costs more than I can afford."
Music inspired by the cost of living crisis? Hmm. Music inspired by the
cost of living crisis by Bad Sounds? Sign me up, now. If anyone was
going to put a catchy spin on a pretty dire topic, it'd be these guys.
Self-produced by the band and mixed by Nathan Boddy, this one is
a bit of a corker to kick the year off with. Seriously!
Talking about the themes behind the track, the band share "Being poor and living in an expensive city. Plus trying to eat healthy, not trash the environment, buy organic foods, and support local businesses. These are all things that we try really hard to do in our everyday lives, but it kind of feels unattainable to maintain the moral standards we set ourselves. So we end up feeling really guilty all the time for not being able to live up to that code of ethics every second of every day. This problem has only really been compounded by the ever increasing financial divide in the UK. Hence "I bet a clean conscience costs more than I can afford." You just end up doing your best and lying to yourself about your shortcomings."
