Five-piece Dublin band Silverbacks have released their latest single, 'A Job Worth Something', from their upcoming album, Archive Material. With this release, the group turn introspective, as they contemplate their personal lives in the midst of a global pandemic.

“For most of the pandemic I lived with my sister who is a healthcare worker,” vocalist and guitarist Daniel O’Kelly explains. “I was far less heroic, writing copy for a car insurance company.

“This song is about feeling embarrassed about how different our lives were at this time. When it comes to telling my grandchildren what all this is like, I’ll be telling them about my sisters who have more important stories to share.”

The '70s-punk-influenced track speaks for those of us who have little more to do than wait for the end of this thing to meet us; the anxiety that comes along with a lack of control. The accompanying video is a portrait of the maddening effect of wasting away the hours in isolation as O'Kelly curiously flutters around his house trying to fill the time.

'A Job Worth Something' is the final single to come from the band's sophomore album Archive Material, which is set to be released on January 21. This album will follow their debut 2020 release, the Choice Music Prize-nominated Fad. The band will also set out on an Irish and UK tour starting in February.
