Like everyone on the planet, I got pretty excited about Sheppard when they burst onto the scene with “Geronimo.” My interest in the band fizzled a little with each subsequent release, but I think it’s back to its best form with the release of “Don’t Believe in Love.” It’s got a great electro-pop sound that feels so current. It gives such great vibes, but listen to the lyrics and you’ll hear some bite.
“Don’t Believe in Love is an ‘anti-love song,’” explained the band’s frontman, George Sheppard. “We’ve all been in that dark place where we feel like love is not made for us. When it doesn’t go right, love can hurt us like nothing else can, and this song is about those times where it just feels easier to build up those walls and never let love in rather than risk being hurt again.”
This is the first in a long line of new releases from Sheppard. The band plans to release a new song every month leading up to the release of a new album later this year.
