Somewhere along the line while messing around on the audio software they overlayed the banjo intro onto the punk strumming, and it just worked perfectly… Pete and Galen looked at each other like it was an epiphany.
The songwriting process for this song was unique. Galen wanted to make a song that used the ‘well-known’ punk strumming used in various forms by The Offspring, Millencolin & Alexisonfire. He says that after that, the guitar parts for the verse and chorus wrote themselves. Pete then moved to write a banjo riff and came up with the catchy running intro piece inspired by a lot of bluegrass stuff he’s been recently devouring that immediately became the beginning of the song.
“No single-use plastics, I want fuller lips now, click and you collect. Can’t wait I need this now” is about the juxtaposition of elements of society that seem to be opposite. There is a much-needed global drive to use less plastic, and then people put “plastic” in their lips, but everything is urgent and needed right away. It’s just odd. The lyrics for 'Crows Foot' circle around these ideas today, which can be summed up as either the necessity for instant gratification and/or other forms of almost hypocrisy.
