about

Blues Rock veterans Transvaal Diamond Syndicate are back with new single 'How'd You Get So Low', a gesture towards the ever increasing rates of male depression and suicide in the Australian music industry, brought to light recently with the passing of band friend, frontman of Tassie Blues Rock act Guthrie.

The new single is the first to be released off TDS' upcoming EP 'The Shackle', due for release in 2018.

lyrics

Punching time, not a man for the afterglow
Few words said it's been a year between drinks
Heard the news that you went away
Something so numb in society
Leaving your friends and your family

Feeling so... Rock'n'Roll
How'd you get so low?
So much to give
A life half-lived
Closing out the show

Did you see it straight?
Asking too late
Tell me how you been?
Rock'n'Roll...
How'd you get so low?
