Punk/indie rock quintet Typhoid Rosie have announced that they will be releasing their third studio album, This Is Now, on March 23rd. With the news of the album announcement, the band have also unveiled the album's first single, entitled "Sailing On". In a press release from the band's team, vocalist Rosie Rebel explained the following regarding the origins of the new track:
"It was inspired by Homer's The Odyssey. Odysseus is faced with every obstacle and temptation but fights as hard as he could to get home. Life is like that: sometimes we have to endure incredible turbulence and storms. I thought about how poor Odysseus had to endure the anger of Poseidon, and all he could do was hold on to a rock while he was being pounded by the waves. He had no shelter to weather the storm, but his memories somehow carried him through those dark times. So when I wrote this song, I thought about life and all the things in it that are worth fighting for. But more than that, the song is about 'us' and how we should fight for it together. When we work together, there's nothing humanity can't accomplish."
