Joe Maxi release “The Game” [Punk / Experimental Rock]

Mikey Fowler (vocals/guitar), says the track is based around the idea that since his mid-teens, he has tricked himself into believing he’s living in a simulation - one that he is happily enjoying. In the new single, he takes the opportunity to share his world view in the context of his simulated experience, also toucheing on how he believes people are overworked and lack time for connection, as well as discussing the rise of AI and its effect on how we tell stories.
