Set Fire To The Hive was something we wrote from a weird place, where we were all frustrated by external stuff, and you can hear it in the song – it’s like we’re all going ‘FAARRK!

In an interview bassist Jon Stockman describes the song as being it’s very much a direct kind of ’sonic’ call to arms, challenging people to look at how much control we have over our own society as well as our own lives and to remind people that we live in a democracy, and that that kind of system of government has certain rights that we should always be entitled to.The music video for the song was released on YouTube on 8 May 2009 eleven days after the song's release on the band's MySpace profile.
