English pop-punk outfit You Me At Six have shared their new single ‘Our House (The Mess We Made)’ to raise funds for the Australian bushfire relief efforts.

Following the horrendous state of the Australian bushfires, You Me At Six has released this new single in hopes that it will provide a little relief to the rescue services working tirelessly to help injured wildlife. All of the proceeds from the new track will be donated to WIRES, the Australian Wildlife Rescue Association.

As climate change is a pressing current issue, frontman Josh Franceschi and the band began writing this song after meeting with a geologist who disclosed to them the impending doom our world is facing.

Projecting the current devastating conditions that Australia has been facing, the new singles lyrics resonate not only with people who have been impacted by the bushfires, but also with everyone in the world by singing, “our house is on fire” and “why should we care about people we will never meet?”

In a statement via NME, Franceschi expressed, “we were inspired to address the issue of climate change, but equally by the hope that the youth have given me”.

“Never in my life have I seen a younger generation take to the streets to have their voices heard than on this subject. They want change, they want their futures back because our house is on fire, and we must act now.”

“Seeing footage of what has been happening in Australia, we felt compelled to do something to help those who are in need, both humans and wildlife. It’s for that reason we are using the most powerful tool at our disposal to help, music.”

You can find their new single, ‘Our House (The Mess We Made)’ now on Apple Music.
