In May Lambrini Girls released their outstanding debut EP You’re Welcome, and now they are sharing a new music video for the mini-album’s opener, an angry noise punk ripper “Boys In The Band”. The visuals have an important message and the pair has the following to say about it:

“We’ve been planning the release of this music video for a while and the recent events in the media just confirmed its relevance further. Our song, Boys in the Band- is about SA and abuse in the music scene. The recent influx of conversations of abuse culture, comes down to another bombshell revelation in pop culture when another celebrity turns out to be a nonce. However, we need to be shouting about this constantly. Opening conversations about abuse culture is appropriate, all the time because this happens, all the time”.

Alongside the track, Lambrini Girls release a limited edition longsleeve priced at £30 with 100% of the profits going to Refuge, Rape Crisis, and Safeline charities.

Emo/indie four-piece SUDS are back with a brand new single “Paint My Body”, a hard-hitting and extremely catchy, fuzzy number. It is out with the announcement of their debut LP titled The Great Overgrowth, set for release on November 3 via Big Scary Monsters. The album was recorded in Kent with producer Ian Sadler (Roam, Anavae).

Speaking of the new track the band said: “This song centres us back to the concept of the record. It’s about being reluctant to go out with friends – but finding solace in being with yourself in nature. Being the first time we are introduced to The Great Overgrowth as a character”.
