Punk rockers Latex Grenade are back with a great new single “My Former Friend!” A song about overcoming personal odds, the track is more metaphorical and deep than most bands in the genre usually are. The track is the first single taken from their upcoming album set for release in 2022. This will be their 6th studio album having previously released The EP (2010), Going Green (2012), FDR Part I (2013), FDR Part 2 (2016) and The Cage (2018). No strangers to the road, Latex Grenade has embarked upon many national tours having played in over 27 states nationwide and two international tours including South Africa where they supported local rock giants Springbok Nude Girls on their Beautiful Evolution Tour.

“My Former Friend is the ultimate metaphor for overcoming a rough patch in one’s life and celebrating the euphoria of making it out on the other side: turning the corner of the darkness and reintroducing oneself to the brightness. The timing of this release (which was also delayed due to the pandemic) is somewhat ironic in a sense that it also shows optimism that we may potentially be turning the corner on a global scale as well? Only time will tell.” Comments vocalist and guitarist Geoff Davis.
“My Former Friend” is available now on all digital platforms.

Lyrics:
You, this is the part where you lose
Cause I’m back from dying
You wanted to blow my fuse
But it’s a different car I’m driving
You are putting your head in the sand
Like an ostrich hiding
You are shunning the past you once knew
Like you will somehow forget it
You’re falling faster, faster you’re falling
You’re falling faster, faster you’re falling
And tonight, with your eyes
You know I just can’t take any more
And tonight, is the night
You know that I’m not coming home
And this time tonight
When you’re looking for me
But I’m not looking for you
And this time, what are you looking for?
What are you looking for?
My former Friend
Falling faster, faster I’m falling Falling faster
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
And tonight, with your eyes
You know I just can’t take any more
And tonight, is the night
You know that I’m not coming home
And this time tonight
When you’re looking for me
But I’m not looking for you
And this time, what are you looking for?
What are you looking for? My former Friend
