STORY OF THE SONG: People rarely ask me “how do you make your records?” But that doesn’t stop me telling you. This is the development of the Red River Hog single ‘Don’t. Give Up’ from the first mumblings into a phone just after Xmas 2023 to the full-on banger it became. 1/2

REJOICE! The Give Way EP by Detour is coming 26.10.26 via Golden Mare Recording Co. 🧨
It’s absolutely brilliant obviously, including not only the ‘Respectable’ and ‘On The Road’ singles but two new breathtaking songs.

THIS WEEK IN RED RIVER HOG: James uses the power of music to create a deadly weapon at Studio 8830. Bets are now being taken on exactly when he will use that weapon on me.
Joyzine have reviewed the new single by Detour - “No gimmicks, no excessive noise, just pure talent.“ 😚 Thank you @NeilLaurenson 👍🏻
