INFO:‘
“Kindness” was written during a hitchhiking trip that Subterranean singer Louis took with my Irish friend Stevie through Malin Head, the northernmost tip of Ireland. The lyrics are essentially a diary entry from that journey: snapshots of landscapes, conversations, and the strange clarity you experience when you’re traveling without a plan.

We immersed ourselves in Irish folklore during that trip—stories about spirits, death, and fate. It all felt very close to the surface there. At the same time, Glen Hansard’s “Say It To Me Now” was on repeat, almost like a traveling companion. That song and the honesty in it seeped into the writing.

A lot of the lyrics also come directly from conversations Stevie and Louis had while walking and waiting for rides. The kind of talks you only have when you’re far from home—about life, death, meaning, and what actually matters.

The title “Kindness” comes from the fact that we were completely dependent on strangers. Every mile we traveled was given to us. It made the world feel fragile yet generous at the same time.

“I originally wrote it as a traditional folk song, pretty much in the campfire style. But when I brought it to the band, we turned it into something bigger: an alternative folk-grunge track that keeps the emotional core intact while giving it weight and momentum. To me, it feels like the ultimate road trip song. Raw and cinematic. The kind you’ll blast while driving through wild, beautiful scenery—preferably Irish, but any view will do.”

Based in Amsterdam, the Danish–Dutch trio Subterranean Street Society blends raw grunge energy with folk storytelling. Their songs hit like confessions, shifting between fragile honesty and explosive power. Their sound lies somewhere between Nirvana and Mumford & Sons. You can expect fuzzy guitars, intense dynamics, and poetic lyrics that cut straight to the core.
