Upcoming rock trio senses is delivering a brand new EP soon, with hopes of releasing new music later this year. Their two newest singles, “gonna make sure” and “sleepwalking,” are available to all streaming platforms and they have plans on touring later this year.
Can you tell us a little about your new single “gonna make sure?”
senses: “Yeah! We wrote it fairly quickly with our producer. I think we hammered it out in under an hour. It’s about that period of time post-break up where you don’t really want to be the bigger person and that it’s okay to feel that.”
What topics do you tend to mostly make your songs about?
senses: “Honestly, whatever one of us is going through in the moment. For example, our newest single ‘gonna make sure’ is kind of literal in the sense that every lyric in the song was actually something that happened and/or was actually said.”
What are you hoping your fans can get out of your upcoming EP?
senses: “We hope our fans connect to the songs and find relative meaning to them. Each song is a pretty specific moment in life that we think we have all felt or will feel at some point. Having some sort of courage is a main theme of the EP.”
Can you give us a hint on the name for your upcoming EP?
senses: “It has to do with escaping.”
When do you guys plan on dropping your new EP?
senses: “Aiming for September!”
Who are some of your inspirations?
senses: “Blink-182, Waterparks, Paramore, Evanescence, Lady Gaga, The Story So Far, P!NK, Fleetwood Mac.”
What is your song “sleepwalking” about?
senses: “‘sleepwalking’ is about starting over and the fear that comes with that. We think everybody at some point in their life craves a reset, but it can be difficult not knowing what’s on the other side. It’s about reaching that point where you would give anything to just break from the cycle and overcome it.”
What more can we expect from you guys in the near future?
senses: “Hopefully hitting the road in the near future as well as more music! We are already gearing up for another batch of songs.”
