Premiere: Fighting Caravans – ‘It’s A Nice Ride (To Be Fair)’

After earning a reputation for their thrilling live performances, Fighting Caravans have released their best single to date with ‘It’s A Nice Ride (To Be Fair)’.

Part of our Ones To Watch for 2017, the Leeds latest release sounds like something from the greatest film you’ve never seen, with a schizophrenic, riff-tastic odyssey.

The first release from Clue Records’ Clue Club, ‘It’s A Nice Ride (To Be Fair)’ whets the appetite for what promises to be an exciting year for Fighting Caravans.

Speaking about the track, singer Dan Clark says: “The lyrics were written whilst lost in Habana looking for an underground club. The club was never found but the hopeless meandering led to the existential babbling which eventually became ‘It’s A Nice Ride’.”
