Singled Out: Thieves & Villains' Virginia Woolf
. The story behind our newest single "Virginia Woolf" starts with the author of the same name. She had famously commited suicide by walking into a river and in 2009 many people thought we had done the same with our career...that we had "given up" or "walked it out to sea." It was March 2009 and we had just come home from several months of touring supporting our debut album. The band was the biggest it had ever been but we were falling apart internally. Not getting along, drinking too much, and just generally having an awful time. When we arrived home Chris Pennings (vocals/guitar) and me decided that we needed a fresh start so we parted ways with our drummer and bassist and set about rebuilding the band. This process took some time and during it we lost a lot of the buzz that we had just generated. Because of this, many of our "friends" and peers abandoned us or took to trash talking us. The song is about that time and realizing that we don't need those types of fair weather friends and that we always need to do what we feel is right for us..not what those people want. It's about not shaking hands with these vampires and realizing that YOU hold the cards, not them. It's a mission statement for being who you are and making the kind of music you want...regardless of what's popular now. It's understanding that It may take a little longer to get there but once you're there you'll be staying a lot longer...and you got there yourself. Hearing is believing.
