The Empty Page deliver a brutally timely statement with Death On Our Side, a dark, biting alt punk track soaked in resignation and restless energy. Channeling shoegaze haze, bleak 80s atmospherics, and 90s alternative weight, the song captures the anxiety of a generation priced out of a future. Lyrics swing between gallows humor and numb defiance—if there’s no pension plan, there’s still noise, excess, and escape.
Recorded in a converted Leeds church, it sounds massive yet claustrophobic, equal parts protest and burnout anthem for January and beyond.
