Story behind the song
The British in droves swopped annual holiday destinations from home to abroad as the cost of flights plummeted in the late 1970s,

Great song! Very distinct vocals and guitars, your trademark. Love the shifting rhythm. Great lyrics about a dying way of life. Super work!

Very true lyrics - last time I went to the seaside I really felt there was a sharp decline. Brilliant vocals/delivery, fantastic job on the guitar work. I really like that change of gear at around 1:40. Love that bit of lyrical irony at the end "oh I do like to be beside the seaside"

Another great track guys. The lyrics I can definitely relate too. So different years ago. The writing and performance is as usual to a very high standard. You guys rock......

The world is a little bit better for Doomtrain's music and messages, not forgetting the musicianship and effort that goes into that. Predatory, out of control free market's scorched earth policies, literally, know no bounds or have any loyalty to anyone except the bottom line, profit. Societal, human needs, pffft... (sarcasm!) Thank you guys!

Sounds like (from the lyrics) you are experiencing a decline on your coastal areas like we in the US are on the West coast. Super high taxation, corrupt government - has people fleeing California faster than at any point in it's existence... Cool Rocker - I liked the time signature change!
