Local band Scream Daisy are back with a new single and new direction in musical style. Entitled Bees, this will be the first single from the band’s second album which is scheduled for release in September 2007. Bees is an up-tempo number that sees the band exploring new sonic territory and shedding the expletives of their previous pop/rock efforts.

The song was recorded at David Vella’s Temple Studios. David has produced the band’s forthcoming album as well as their first album, In Case of Emergency’, which included fan favourites Room 7 and Wolf in a Sheep’s Skin.

“The song just happened one night in the garage. We emailed a rough demo to David and he sent a short note back to tell us that he liked it”, explained lead singer Jotham Saliba. “The final recording is simply a proper rendition of that demo. Very direct, an easy labour... it was actually a fun thing to do.”

Scream Daisy will be giving a number of live performances during the summer months in preparation for the album’s release to give fans a taste of the new songs and also revisit old favourites. When speaking about the band’s preparations for their live performance, Jotham Saliba said: “We are curious to see the fans’ reaction to the new songs. It is all varied but very different to what we have presented before. We shall be depicting a pretty grey view of the world... well, we always did that, but this time it is not in the pop guise. To be honest we like it better this way, and we are sure our fans will do so too.”
