It was the last song we wrote for the album, and I guess it has shades of the Psychedelic Furs or Lords Of The New Church about it. Basically, it&#8217;s a ballsy, dark love song,&#8221; says singer Eugene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Desperate Measures are busy working on new material for an EP release later this year and will be ripping up stages up and down the country for the rest of 2024.
