Amongst Liars release new single ‘By Design’ feat Swedish artist Felin
Stream song: https://earache.lnk.to/ByDesign
This single is the title track from the forthcoming album ‘By Design’, featuring Swedish pop-punk artist Felin.
‘We met Felin through our management and both loved her style and the fact that she writes and sings about equality and real-life issues, which is very much where we come from too.’
‘The song ‘By Design’ is very much about self-empowerment and overcoming difficult situations in life, where tendencies are sometimes to shut down and by doing so hurt yourself more. The message is: don’t let people dictate to you how you should act and feel, as you always have or can find the power to take control of situations.’
This release will shortly be followed with a dubstep remix done by Ammon-Ra.

A tight powerhouse of a band; urgent, questioning, loud and fierce. Together they play heavy and direct modern rock: massive riffs and powerful, melodic choruses, fuzzy guitar, pummelling drums and bass, pin-balling between heavy alternative rock, grunge and punk. They also have a lyricist who can’t help but use his band as a platform to air anxieties and raise questions about the world we live in.
Debut self-titled album was released in July 2022 to critical acclaim and ‘Vice” is the fourth release from their sophomore album ‘By Design’, scheduled for release on 4th July 2024.
