'Hoist Their Heads' is a bold and fiery track that takes on a socio-political stance on the hardships of living in a great city like London. In the song, lead singer Josh Eggerton battles with the anguish of working long hours for minimum wage, and struggling to find a purpose behind it all. "I learnt that as a city it'll eat you up, if you allow it to", says Josh. "It's a reminder that there's always a dream driving me through the rubble, no matter how much each day seems to turn onto a page I've already read".

Social Contract was initially founded online by Josh and guitarist Scott Roach while Josh was looking for housing in London. Bonding over their mutual love of music, they began writing their own music that reflected the environment they lived in. Later quenching a ferocious thirst for playing live, they decided to recruit drummer Bisque Wemyss and bassist Chris Coward.

Social Contract's incredible live sets on the New Cross scene quickly gained them an underground reputation, securing them a slot supporting JAWS at Scala, and later being asked to join them on their November 2017 tour.

Previous releases 'Citizen' and 'Six Pips' followed, which gathered high praise and comparisons to Future Islands and Bombay Bicycle Club.Recently signed to indie label Beatnik Creative, the South London quartet is now getting ready to release their upcoming EP 'Common Tongue' later this Spring, sure to cement their position as one of the most exciting alternative bands around right now.
