Deathcar is a song inspired by a harrowing news item on Chinese human meat wagons. "Deathcars are Chinese vans - if they need an organ donor for someone, then they execute death-row prisoners in the vans and bring the organs to accident victims," explains singer Charlie Simpson.

Deathcar is released on Monday December 3rd
