about

Dublin-based alt-rock artist Tadgh Billy King’s debut single Sit and Wait is a cathartic listening experience full of gnashy vocals, angular guitars, thick basslines, and electrifying drums. It pays homage to the history of punk rock and speaks to the existential dread of Tadgh's generation. Recorded at his house in Dublin completely independently.

lyrics

It might not seem right
It's the only thing that's working
Trying not to realise
That it's all just slowly burning
We were once small
But the world keeps on turning
And if we want to kill it all
There's nothing that we're not doing
Yea

Sell our fate
I'm living in a world full of people who are
Sell-outs, fake
I'm living in a world where everyone is
Forced to break
But, it's clear today
No fun for me
Our future's thrown away
No fun for you
There's no future in a derelict site

No, it really doesn't feel right
Pretending that it's working
This global effort
To make the world keep on turning
Try to say that it sits right
Like someone after a good night
No, I don't want to say you've fucked us
'Cause I can't do it without smirking
Yea

Sell our fate
I'm living in a world full of people who are
Sell-outs, fake
I'm living in a world where everyone is
Forced to break
But, it's clear today
We sit and wait
We discuss the disappointment
On each other's face
Until something new comes
And pulls us away
Once little, once small
Our future's thrown away
Our future's thrown away because
We sit and wait
Waiting for something to come and
Kick us in the face
Put us in our place
