The rockers, who released debut album Live To Love You'll Love To Live in 2016 and followed it up with last year's EP Life In The Now, are about to release their latest single Will You Be My Lie? taken from that EP.

A short narrative film is to be shot in Worcester with director Dwane Perks that will double up as the track's video. And Meme is giving six people the chance to appear in it with her.
