The Wigan four-piece - made up of Alex Moore, Scott Concepcion, Ryan Durrans and Matty Murphy - have called their new tune a "Jamaican Ale-fuelled fever dream" and claim that the inspiration for the song after one of their early shows at the Brudenell in Leeds where they were joined by a stellar lineup.

Frontman Alex Moore told Radio X's Dan O'Connell on The Evening Show last week: "It can mean a plethora of things. The big thing for me is, especially in this day and age that we live in.... it's hard to find a bit of solace in things. A bit of normality and comfort.

He nice for some kinda just thinking outside of your own headspace... I like thinking that there's more good than bad and people just need to come together a little bit more now."

He added: "The beauty about humans is we have these voices. We have these ways of communicating with people and it's the thing that separates us from being mere beats. And we don't use it enough I don't think, so I wanted to make a a bit of a point of that."

Stellar Cast follows the bombastic, summer single and instant fan favourite No Direction, which saw the four-piece take on a ghoulish themes as the portray the undead.

The band are wrapping up a milestone year where they played a huge 11,500-capacity homecoming show at Wigan’s Robin Park and supported Keane on their UK Arena tour.
