Pile – “Scaling Walls”

11:13 AM EDT on August 25, 2023

Back in February, Pile released their All Fiction LP. Now, the band are prepping to head out on a North American tour, which kicks off in September and wraps up in late October. Ahead of the tour, Pile have shared a new single and video called "Scaling Walls."

Here's what guitarist/vocalist Rick Maguire had to say about Pile's latest: "It was a satisfying song to work on because the subject matter revolves around trying to separate what's worthy of my energy and what's essentially spinning my wheels, and while I had labored over the parts for a while on my own, once I brought it to the band it became pretty apparent how it was supposed to go. So for a thing that's trying to explore the topic of uncertainty and overthinking, it was nice for it to come together quickly and with confidence."
