Cadet Carter take a stand against negativity and pessimism with their latest single, 'The Best Part'. Featuring high spirited vocals, soaring guitar riffs to lift the spirit and a driving positivity that's bound to seep into even the darkest corners, the track promises to make the best of a difficult year. Take a leap back into your younger years, where the future had endless possibilities and summer holidays were just around the corner.
The band reveal a little more about the positive message behind the single: "The world is full of pessimists, especially since the start of the pandemic. And I'll admit, I'm a pessimist myself pretty much most of the time. But right now, nobody seems to keep the light on at the end of the tunnel, no one seems to be willing to fly the flag of optimism. So we decided to write a song about not losing hope and staying positive, just for a change. That is how 'The Best Part' came about."
