“Square Hammer” is a radio-friendly heavy metal song with a strong rock and roll influence. In an interview, the band had said this about the song- “We’re very proud of it. We’re obviously thrilled to be able to play something new. This is a short, to-the-point little gem [aimed] right at the jugular”.

The Down Troddence from Cochin today released the single “Nagavalli” from their upcoming debut album titled “How Are You? We Are Fine. Thank You!”.
