Start Of Something will be out on CD and digital download on March 23 to coincide with the band’s mini UK tour which will take in Birmingham’s Academy 2 the following day (March 24).
The single, which will also have three acoustic tracks including the previously unreleased Things Could be Worse, is a ‘swaggering, groove-laden highlight’ from their album which takes them back to when they first started out.
Gods’ frontman Richie Edwards, from Lichfield, told Your Time Music: “Start of Something was one of the first songs we wrote,” he said.
“The words reflect the positive outlook that we had, and still have.
“It’s a real hands in the air, ‘you won’t stop me, *****r’ song.”
“It’s about staying positive in the face of adversity, isn’t it?,” said the band’s bassist, Toby MacFarlaine.
“And Lord knows we can all use a little of that right now!”
But it’s not just the new single that’s getting the boys pumped up – there’s something of a buzz in the Gods camp about their upcoming tour which unleashes in Newcastle on March 21.
They’ve not long finished a stint touring with Airbourne and Black Stone Cherry.
But now it literally is in Gods’ hands to show what they can do on their own.
“It will have been three months since our last live show when we step out on tour in March,” said Richie.
“That’s too long in my eyes.
“By the time we finally get back on stage it’ll be like releasing a caged lion back into the wild, actually four caged lions.
“Beware ‘cos we WILL bite!”
