Single - ChewThe third single from Committeemen's sophomore EP, 'Chew' is an energetic whirlwind in two parts. Presenting itself as a fast-paced punk track with emphasis on self-realization and exasperation with daily life, it devolves midway into a heavy-hitting, articulate instrumental.
Single - Old Rope
Alternating between dead-pan aphorisms and unbridled chaos, ‘Old Rope’ is the second single from Committeemen’s new EP. Confronting the sometimes nonsensical structure of our day-to-day, frontman DJ Gilmore questions. “If I came in first, then why did I finish last?” A frustration with societal imbalance and personal doubt are met with heavy rhythms and driving force.
Single - Therapy
The first single from Committeemen’s upcoming EP, ‘Therapy’ is a tongue-in-cheek look at the media-obsessed, toxic personalities running rampant in today’s society. Looking for answers to a changing world from podcast hosts and underqualified televangelists, a growing sect of vocal individuals believe that they couldn’t possibly be the problem and that it must be everyone else. “Not me! Not me!” they cry while refusing to accept any narrative but their own.
