Saytr Play

Following on from their successful single ‘Honest Man’, Manchester rockers Saytr Play are back with a new eccentric single ‘VCR’.

The quartet have continued to be a powerhouse in the indie rock scene with VCR, moulding themselves into rising stars. The track is taken from Satyr Play’s upcoming EP In Truth I Fear For The Heart and ‘VCR’ is already a favourite at live shows it’s bound to get you moving from the word go with its bouncing rhythm and catchy melodies.

Having taken its rightful place as the opener of their live show, its off-the-bat energy that lets you know right away what you’re in for. As for the meaning behind the song, frontman Fred Farrell explains the meaning behind the song.

He said: “VCR is a song that touches on the constant pressures and paranoia of a self conscious person in a self indulgent society. It’s the idea that nothing is truly private.

“We allow people to see into our world, to know where we are ‘24/7, 365’ from behind the safety net of a screen. I sometimes feel I was born in the wrong era. Like I’m ‘selling VCR in a digital age’. Fighting a losing battle to keep up with the ever-changing times.

“Though the music is uplifting, this song is a reminder to myself to be aware of my surroundings and not get sucked into the illusion of everybody else. Love you for you, not what people perceive of you.”
