Influenced by IDLES, Fontaines D.C., Gang of Four, The Fall, Sleaford Mods. Keir Bitumen was raised in Sheffield by a single mother who worked three jobs. He saw her fall asleep at the kitchen table from exhaustion and swore he'd make enough so she could stop; he hasn't yet, and the guilt fuels every note. After leaving school at sixteen to work as a scaffolder, he started writing songs on a battered Telecaster about the grit and grace of post-industrial life. These tracks, written between courier shifts and rehearsals in a damp railway arch, are a raw, blistering document of a city and a life on the edge.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The Leppings Lane End ticket stub on the Formica worktop.
April fourteenth, the whole city's holding its breath 'til the kick-off.
Dad's polishing his good shoes, knuckles white with the effort.
The spring sun's a weak lemon wash on the terraced street, a nervous letter.

[Chorus]
Oh, whatever holds the girders up,
Just let them hold tomorrow.

[Verse 2]
Mum says, "Don't you be mardy if they lose, now."
The smell of chip spice and hope on the wind off the Don, somehow.
I trace the club crest on the polyester sleeve,
The whole of nineteen eighty-nine is something to believe.

[Chorus]
Oh, whatever holds the girders up,
Just let them hold tomorrow.

[Bridge]
Are the foundations good? Did they check the plans?
Is the weight calculated for all these hands?

[Outro]
And I just have this feeling.
