She\'d Say Demo:
Three months after announcing their hiatus, the band released an acoustic version of a track they are working on titled She\'d Say. zac n\' adam explained on their official Facebook page She\'d Say was more mellow, than their usual pop-punk sound.
She\'d say is a song written by Zac McNulty and co written by Adam Noble.
The song is about a woman with so many problems hoping for a \'\'saviour\'\' (a man) to come and rescue her and whisk her away. Trapped away in her room she\'s lost in a world of her own thoughts. Eventually she comes to reality and finds a happy place within herself. Again, like previous song Shutting You Out - it\'s about turning a negative into a positive.
Lyric Video:
To compliment the song, zac n\' adam also uploaded a lyric video for the demo on YouTube on the 19th August 2014.
The Acoustic EP:
Whilst taking time to write their first album they decided they would release an EP of demo songs titled \'The Acoustic EP.\' This would include acoustic versions of their singles: When I Met You, Shutting You Out and their new song \'She\'d Say\'. Zac\'s mother Linda also contributed towards a song named \'Maybe\' and Adam will also include a song he wrote a few years ago called In My Head.
The band has some plans to do a live streaming of their tracks when the EP has been released.
