THICK – "5 Years Behind"

Last spring, the Brooklyn Band To Watch THICK released a three-track EP to celebrate their signing to Epitaph Records. Today, they’re announcing the release their debut album — out 3/6 — with its title track, “5 Years Behind.” The song’s about temporal anxiety and always feel like you’re playing a losing game. “I wouldn’t feel so overwhelmed if I didn’t let time take control me,” goes the chiming chorus.

“It’s about how we always feel five years behind in life, at least as far as the expectations the world around us,” vocalist/guitarist Nikki Sisti said in a press release. “It’s something we’re constantly battling, but at the same time we know that there’s no real timeline—there’s no time limit for doing what we want to do.”
