A little bit about the songs on the album
Drag Me Down: This one is all about that addictive rush you only get from live music. The second that
first guitar hit, the thundering bass, the kick of the drum… you know the score. This track celebrates that
escape when the band and the crowd feed off the exact same energy. It is Anti-Fashion’s call to arms.
We’ll see you down at the front, because “when you're around, this world don’t drag me down.”
Rob Cass
Let Love Rule: A bit bitchy, a bit dysfunctional but a lot of truth because “you can still be a bitch and I
can be a king of fools.”
Rob Cass
Day by Day: Realising it’s just the same old shit day after day, you crave absolutely anything to pull
yourself back into life again but you're just treading water (I think I had a bad day when I wrote this!)

She’s The One: I wrote this song after going out on a Tinder date with this gorgeous, sophisticated
theater actress. We went to this Mexican restaurant and immediately started making out at the table over
margaritas and guacamole. I drive away convinced it was love at first site and we were meant to be
together. I wrote this song about finding “the one” as soon as I got home. Of course, when I called her a
few days later she very rationally explained to me that we were not a good fit and she didn’t find me
attractive. Doh! I was so humiliated., But I got a great song out of it!

No Escape: We’ve all been there in the messy aftermath of a toxic relationship, when someone’s words
are still messing with your head. It’s a raw look at trying to find yourself again after being totally drained by
some other motherfucker. The lyric says it all: “I spent too long in your world; I forgot who I was.”
Rob Cass
Going Nowhere: Inspired by Goya's iconic artwork The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters, this track
reflects on modern day monsters – disinformation, fake images, A.I…. It doesn’t take much to see the
massive mess we’re in at the moment. Anti-Fashion’s punk-fuelled wake-up call to the “Dead
Generation.”
Rob Cass
Nightmare: There’s a hangover from hell in here, some swearing at a washing machine, a wedge of
karma, a dose of paranoia and a trip back to the pub to forget the lot.
Rob Cass
From The Heart: No dramatic sob stories here, just a pure underdog anthem about backing yourself
when everyone else wants to see you hit the floor, simply “don’t listen when they say you’re nothing.”
Rob Cass
Wild Animal: is about refusing to be caged in or restrained in this world. Although I grew up in the big
city, it sometimes feels like living in a jungle. Every man for themselevs, so to speak. There are predators
and killers, so you gotta have your wits about you and stay sharp. Sometimes just standing up for yourself
feels like you are a wild animal fighting to survive.
Frank Meyer
Dirt & Dust: We took that suffocating lockdown isolation and flipped it into a massive wake-up call to
stop drifting through life. It’s a total middle finger to giving up, reminding everyone that “paradise ain’t
lost, we ain’t burnt every bridge we’ve ever crossed.” Even when things feel totally pitch-black, there’s a
spark of hope in there to help you break free. Stop sitting on your arse overthinking it, just move.
Rob Cass
Too Much Pressure: I wrote this song with my mate Chip Wilson when we were both working at the same
job. They worked us like dogs and we rarely left the windowless studio they had us slaving away in for all
hours of the day. I’d then drive 90-minutes in L.A. traffic just to get home too exhausted t do anything else
but watch TV. It was exhausting. One day, I came home and banged out this song over a riff Chip wrote. It
kind of wrote itself actually. I think I was just oozing with anger and frustration and it needed to come out.
So it did….in the form of this song.
