Fresh from becoming one of the “First Fifty” artists booked for The Great Escape, Dublin miscreants Really Good Time have shared new single ‘Shit One’. The trio lead by frontman Wastefellow played their first US show at SXSW this year and now ‘Shit One’ sets out their stall further with a track mainlining the anxiety of existing in 2025.

“Shit One is about a culture that revels in the spectacle of doom; it’s about stoking anxiety, selling nostalgia, and all the nihilism that brings. Things will just get better. Things should just get better. Why hasn’t anything gotten better?” explains Wastefellow.

“The song is written from that spiral, from watching the world burn outside your window while trying to soldier on, shoulder to the wheel of whatever can distract you for long enough.”

‘Shit One’ is accompanied by visuals directed by Eilís Doherty (CMAT’s “Eurocountry”), and Saoirse Johnston.“Visually, we’re representing this with scenes from the worst party on earth; the sun coming in and the end of the world with it, while everything is covered in dirt and raw hate. That’s just one way to slice it, just one clay to be moulded into a distraction from the great struggle… Maybe that struggle is something you have to really feel before you can actually start doing something about it,” explain the trio.

Really Good Time have several live dates before Christmas including Other Voices and an appearance in Cork opening for Ireland’s best live band Gurriers. Details below.
