New Orleans band Special Interest are back with their first new music since 2022’s Endure. “Nothing Grows Here” is an intense post-punk disco banger and singer Alli Logout says it’s about “stagnancy, over-stayed welcomes and the moment you decided to confront your complacency.” They adds, It’s about opening yourself to feel the earth dying underneath your feet. How do we stand and what do we stand for? It’s a song about the reeling in this moment. The next step? A call to arms.”
