Originally, Pharmacists was used to prevent the chief songwriter William Porteous from going insane during his mindless 9-5 workday. He writes on loss, mourning, and the conversation in society. He has performed with bands in both sweaty London venues and dive bars in New York. 

In his latest offering, ‘Heart of the Nation’, Pharmacists’ endearing voices underscore the hardships of the modern world while promoting solidarity. The words of the song ask the listener to widen their eyes. This lesson is especially relevant in the fast-paced world of today when it occasionally appears that power triumphs over people.

The song, which was recorded in Norwich’s Plug Studios, began with only guitar and vocals and gradually grew up to include bass, drums and a playful piece of drum machine. This demonstrated how the chemists’ varied skill set is what gives the song its energy. Pharmacists’ deep love of music is captured by the appeal of alternative indie-rock, which is seamlessly blended with other genres to showcase his style with richness and surprise to the composition.

‘Heart of the Nation’, with its captivating combination of alternative and indie-rock, is more than simply a song; it’s an invitation to accompany him on his musical journey. This song has the potential to become a favourite among both fans and new listeners. 

When asked about the inspiration behind this new single, Pharmacists has the following to say;

“I wanted to take a huge chorus and put something I believe in behind it. I wanted to leave something of myself out there.”
