Hex Girlfriend has just released a brand new single titled ‘Drugs, Oil & Guns’. This track will be featured on the band’s upcoming EP, No Golf Cart Parking, which is set to be released on November 22. The EP will also include the recently released song ‘Graveyard on a Beach’. You can listen to ‘Drugs, Oil & Guns’ below.
In a statement about the song, the duo explained, “‘Drugs, Oil and Guns’ directly addresses the military industrial complex and highlights the hypocrisy of the US and UK in supporting, funding, and allowing atrocities to occur while simultaneously ‘condemning’ them. The track sheds light on those who profit from wars and human suffering, emphasizing how it is in their best interest to cause such suffering – for example, US members of Congress being permitted to own shares in weapons manufacturers while approving weapons sales to oppressive regimes.”

Hex Girlfriend have released a new single, ‘Drugs, Oil & Guns’. It’s set to appear on the band’s upcoming EP No Golf Cart Parking – out November 22 – along with the recent offering ‘Graveyard on a Beach’. Check it out below.
“‘Drugs, Oil and Guns’ is very directly about the military industrial complex, and the hypocrisy of the US and the UK in supporting, funding, and permitting atrocities while at the same time ‘condemning’ them,” the duo said of the track. “It’s about those who get rich from wars and human suffering, and how it is thus blatantly in their interest to cause human suffering – such as US members of Congress currently being allowed to own stock in weapons manufacturers whilst authorising weapons sales and provisions to tyrannical regimes.”
