Anxiety Replacement Therapy

Product Information

Anti-anxiety medication Sertraline gets its own ode, offered as part of the positive picture and something that can usefully hold your hand. Of the mid tempo moments, Long Way Down is instantly classic, with an overarching nineties influence that’s both throwback yet authentic – apt for a collection that features contributions from musical greats like Boy George, Frank Turner and Shaun Ryder.

Though the collaboration that has everybody talking is the brutally honest ‘Letter to Myself’, which features Frank Turner. There's been a resurgence recently in the working class and, I don't want to say “true musicians”, because I don't want to take anything away from anyone, but with bands like The Reytons and The Lathums getting number one albums I feel maybe now is the time where all that nepotism and gatekeeping is just being overruled by the people who work hard. Once I realised the acronym of ‘Anxiety Replacement Therapy’ is ART, I thought: ‘That’s genius, and it’ll look great on a T-shirt. So the first UK punks to release a single, album and tour the US are also pretty much the last ones standing, and Darkadelic further enriches their storied legacy. Although the album mainly focuses on distanced relationships, the tender closer Send For Me sees Berninger open himself up to intimacy, singing “Send for me whenever, wherever” to end positively.Will Portsmouth's firework displays be going ahead on Southsea Common and Alexandra Park despite flooding and weather warnings?

I want to say Morrissey, but I’d have to have a stern chat with him first about some of his beliefs and morals, try to rewind him back to ’80s Morrissey. We've not picked an easy goal, but that's part of it – I'm really determined as a person to achieve things. I think that had quite a profound effect on the person I became, so I'm trying to address those feelings now, and saying, look it did all work out and, actually, if you could see the person you become you'd be quite proud of him!Whilst you might want to pick out certain tracks to listen to initially, I would suggest listening to the album in its entirety a few times first. Driven by drummer Joe Singleton, the furiously energetic track offers an accurate description of what it’s like to suffer from anxiety.

When I started assembling these songs, I realised that every one I wrote was getting a bit lighter, feeling progressively less down. Joe Singleton’s drums drive through the track, creating a feeling of being unable to switch off and relax. I don't want to name any names or slag anyone off,’ and to his credit refuses to when nudged by The Guide, ‘but there are other people we're releasing on the same week as, who've had a very different experience of making music – maybe they went to the Brit School, maybe some of their parents are millionaires – which just isn't the case with us.

We're, like, 12 days into our tour without a day off, and our next day without a gig is the 15th of May.Seeking and finding “a whole universe for you to exist” becomes a shared motivational goal by the end of the song.

The Lottery Winners frequently get this label attached to them as they are no strangers to touring and playing live at every opportunity. We move into more positive territory with ‘Letter to Myself’ as Rylance imparts the benefit of hindsight to his younger self. Scratch the surface, however, and there’s a world of empowerment and defiance, tackling subjects such as austerity, as well as of course, anxiety, mental health and its medications, and ADHD.

The Lottery Winners are a four-piece indie-rock band hailing from the Leigh area of Greater Manchester. This is the musical equivalent of the popular meme of a dog sitting in a burning house whilst saying, “Everything is fine”. I really hope that people, specially young kids, if they're going through a similar thing I went through, I hope I can at least be some kind of example that shows you can channel the thing that makes you different into something that makes you great.
