‘Call To Harm’ is a blistering, impassioned and combative track inspired by the band’s increasing despair with modern society. Belting out a chorus of “Break everyone I get too near to… this is your Call To Harm”, singer Sam Robson breaks down the accompanying verses as “references to veiled promises and threats we make to people that we don't keep because we’re inevitably driven by our own agendas… the general gist of the song is that it's annoying how it's often accepted to take the easy way out on things these days, it's seen as better to be dishonest either by behaving in a contrived way and/or just never admitting mistakes.”
Set to record their debut album with producer James Kenosha (Dinosaur Pile up, Pulled Apart by Horses, Grammatics) at the end of the year, Club Smith have already supported The Naked and Famous, Iliketrains, The Sunshine Underground, The Mystery Jets, Two Door Cinema Club, The Neat, Hockey and The Pigeon Detectives, alongside festival appearances at Leeds and Reading and Kendal Calling. With their first headline UK tour planned for November, you can also catch them at a rare London show on 19th October at Death Disco @ Notting Hill Arts Club.
