Shifty Peaks' Debut 'Left For Dead' Leaves Absolutely Nothing Behind

'Left For Dead' is a sonic journey that explores the universal themes of feeling lost and trying to figure out where you belong. Joe, the band's vocalist and guitarist, shares, "The song is about dissatisfaction with current situation and struggling to find your feet in new grounds."
