Alt-rock meets twang band Union Duke just released their new single "Coming In Clear", and to celebrate we asked Matt Warry-Smith (drums/vocals), to tell us about the track. Here is the story:
Let's seeeeeee. I wrote Coming In Clear during the pandemic. For most of my life I was a singer with no instrument and relied on my bandmates to write songs together because I didn't consider myself to be proficient enough with chords. During the beginning days of Union Duke I got a ukulele and started writing songs on that because 4 strings is easier than 6. During the first few weeks of the pandemic I made it a goal to learn the guitar at LEAST well enough to write on and to accompany myself singing. I borrowed a guitar from my uncle Eric, an old Seagull that he hadn't changed the strings on in like 20 years, and started playing every day until I felt comfortable enough to write songs on.
