The future looks bright for Forty Days of Rain, with a variety of events booked and most importantly the release of their debut single ‘Strings left to fray’ set for September 2014. The song is about finding the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. When things are bad, there is always something to cling to, hence the title. The song was recorded and produced by Boris Cezek and Kenny D’Ugo at the newly christened Threesome Studios. It also features the prolific singer Annmarie Mayo on backing vocals.
The band aim to become one of the top bands in Malta in the next few years and through determination and hard work, Forty Days of Rain are well on their way to achieving their goal.
