The XCERTS are back! Following frontman Murray Macleod’s collab with As It Is earlier this month, the trio – completed by bassist Jordan Smith and drummer Tom Heron – have now unveiled a brand-new single of their own.
Entitled do it to myself, the track is their first since 2023 fifth album Learning How To Live And Let Go, and arrives via the band’s new label FLG Records. Murray shares that, “There’s a desperate urgency about this song. It’s an admission of my fragility and tendency to self-sabotage when things aren’t good as they are.
“It’s a hard indie rock song, but the lyrics and vocal delivery are really vulnerable. That conflicting feeling was intentional – we wanted it to feel uncomfortable, honest and human.”
