New Music from Luke Tuchscherer

LUKE TUCHSCHERER RELEASES ‘LIVING THROUGH HISTORY’

New song and video released on Monday 11^th May, with all proceeds going to charity

 Luke Tuchscherer, the Bedfordian Clubhouse Records artist based in New York City, has collaborated with his friends to release a demo of a new song called Living Through History.

With Luke, ex-Whybird bandmate David Banks and Clubhouse’s Tristan and Danny Tipping all recording from their homes during lockdown, the song tackles not only the current coronavirus situation but issues including climate change, wealth disparity and animal exploitation. Banks, who also mixed and mastered the track in his own studio, delivers a blistering guitar solo that recalls some of Neil Young’s ragged glory, very much in keeping with the song itself.

A video, edited by Phil Perry, further illustrates the wider themes of the song. Watch it here. 

Tuchscherer said: “It’s a song about owning our current problems. It’s not only about the coronavirus situation, but that was obviously the main inspiration. Some people may not want to admit it, but the way we treat animals is not only responsible for this pandemic, but for others too — including swine flu, bird flu, SARS, Spanish Flu and many others. In fact, 75% of new diseases are zoonotic.

“I see all these things on the internet about how this crisis might help us change. Well, let’s not just talk about it, let’s do it. We have to start with what we put on our plates. We need to think about our votes, and whether that vote might be helping or hindering our frontline workers. We need to think about our fellow humans, and all the other creatures we share this planet with, and put them ahead of money. 

“We are living through history, and we’re all feeling the weight of the page at the moment. Let’s be on the right side of that history and do what we can to stop this happening again.” 

Danny Tipping of Clubhouse Records said: ‘’Luke’s a prolific songwriter with something to say and like a lot of artists he’s finding new ways to collaborate and get his songs out there. This one is full of righteous indignation but it’s also a rallying cry that needs to be heard.”

The song will be available on Luke’s Bandcamp from 11^th May on a pay-what-you-want basis, and all proceeds will be split equally between Shelter, Surge Activism and Farms to Food Banks.
