Wifeswap release first track Bosman Ruling from debut EP Digging
Wifeswap is the Dublin based project of Offaly native Joe Brody. Bosman Ruling is the first track taken from their forthcoming debut EP Digging and was recorded by Michael Bell in Start Together Studio (Belfast). Wifeswap line up as Joe (vocals, guitar, songwriting), Jasper Ryan (guitar), Cian Bates (bass) and Lorcan Connolly (drums), all from different parts of Ireland, finding their way together in college.
​
On the single, Joe says 'Bosman Ruling is really just a song about the detachment and numbness that I feel at the beginning of grieving. In an EP that is really all about grief in its many forms and facets, it serves as a starting point for exploring those ideas around falling out of touch with your own identity and developing quite unhealthy coping mechanisms”.
