“The first single from the album, metal rock song Counterpunch focuses on the consequences of thoughtless, foolish actions (Do you know that you are playing with fire?/You’ve gone for the burn!)

“The recently released electronic number Closed Issue tackles discrimination – so pertinent for today’s current climate.”

Challenging all types of hate speech, Ed asks people to be quicker to counter when witnessing prejudice: “What are you going to do? / Do you know what the victims are going through? / This is by no means a closed issue.”

Other tracks are Ed’s personal thoughts, experiences and views before, during and after lockdown, with a focus on politics, perseverance and personal relationships, he says. The album is released on Spotify, Apple Music and all other streaming platforms.
