Honestly, it’s the one thing getting me through not touring – just knowing I can spend the year making new music.”A post shared by Empire State Bastard (@esb666_)Neil continued: “I like putting myself in these positions where I’m like, ‘I should never be doing this, so this is what I’m going to do’.
