‘I Was An Astronaut’ is the latest single and is backed with brand new song ‘You Make We Want to Grow Up, Sometimes’.

The track has been accompanied by a video shot on Downhill Beach near the band’s native Castlerock in Northern Ireland – better known as Dragonstone on the TV show Game of Thrones.
