Song of the Day: February 15, 2019 - "Flags of Convenience" by Mounties
The bad news is, we’re going to have to wait a bit longer for the new album from Mounties — the power trio of Hawksley Workman, Steve Bays, and Ryan Dahle.
The good news is, we get another preview of Heavy Meta before it’s new April 26th release date, with a brand new video for “Flags of Convenience”.
The band says, “‘Give us convenience or give us death!’, is one of the themes running through the new Mounties song ‘Flags of Convenience’. The term is taken from a business practice of merchant ship owners registering vessels in a different country than that of the owner to avoid regulations, laws, and taxes. This underlying meaning becomes a metaphor for other behaviour from our obsession with convenience boiling all the way down to pure sex. The song and video feature a guest appearance by Limblifter drummer Eric Breitenbach.”
