Irish indie artist The Butterfly Graveyard – releases punchy new single ‘Underdog’ this Friday 25th

Delicate and delicious, Irish alt-rock artist The Butterfly Graveyard is located somewhere between The Blue Nile, Jeff Buckley and the deep blue sea. He makes a fragile music, soft as a butterfly’s wing but sometimes rough and uneven like the underbelly of a leaf, translucent when held up under the light. 

“Everybody loves the underdog. This is the phrase that came to mind when I was writing the lyric. I had a kind of mental image of a boxer walking through a crowd towards the ring, no one giving them much of a shot at the title, but everyone respected that they had the heart of a lion. The underdog overcomes adversity and limitations, sees them as a challenge, not as an obstacle. The underdog allows no one to tell them what they can or cannot do. They just simply say, “bring it on…”

I suppose the song is about digging deep and channelling your inner Rocky Balboa, the archetypal underdog, and maybe giving the underdog a chance, and they just might surprise you.”
