The song is taken from their forthcoming sixth studio album 'Alpha Games', which will be out on April 29, 2022 via Infectious/BMG. Pre-order your copy here.
Speaking about it, Kele Okereke says: “There was no specific incident that inspired this song – it was more a composite of lots of things I’ve seen over the years when being in clubs and seeing violence erupt with feuding love rivals. I’ve always had a slight obsession with those sorts of moments; like a fuse being lit, when actions turn from words into violence. You can learn a lot about who people really are in those moments. I think ‘The Girls Are Fighting’ is kind of self-explanatory – someone’s been selling dreams to someone they shouldn’t have and it’s caught up with them. I just wanted to capture that moment of going from naught to ten in an evening, in a sweaty nightclub. I’m really pleased with the arrangement for this track because it has this 1970s glam rock feel meets Adam Ant feel. I love what Louise is doing on the tom toms.”

New Entry: Boy With Apple Unleash New Single "Strawberry Boy"
The song is out today (January 28) through VÅRØ. Get it here.
"Strawberry Boy" is musically really happy and bears a lot of classic pop but lyrically they still found themselves on darker spots. The opening bass is really hypnotizing and it rolls over to a huge world of sounds together with words about something close to a social apocalypse. The catchy chorus stays on your mind and the simple but ingenious guitar slowly takes everything forward towards something beyond restlessness.

Watch: Thyla Air New Single/Video "Kin"
The song is taken from their long-awaited self-titled debut album out today (January 28) via Easy Life Records. Get your copy here.
Speaking about it, lead singer Millie Duthie says: “‘Kin’ is about the feeling of pressure to prove yourself to friends and family. The amount of times each of us have gone home or out with old friends and the first question has been ‘Are you still working in the café?’ to which the answer still remains an awkward, ‘eh…yes.’ There are psychological benchmarks of success we all feel like we should hit, and we’re all guilty of mapping out our future timelines and expectations. The reality is that there really isn’t anything further from the truth. Life is unpredictable, it weaves and bobs, it meanders and sometimes sprints, but each path is unique and incomparable.”

New Entry: The Assist Release New Single "Television Kid"
The song is part of our current playlist and is taken from their highly-anticipated debut album 'Council Pop', which will be out on April 8 2022 featuring their new single . Pre-order your copy here.
The track narrates the mischievous nature of a fictional socialite character who we will have all met at some point in our lives. The absorbent kind that becomes over enthused by the smallest of occasions, takes on the role of Andy Murray during Wimbledon and Tyson Fury when there’s a boxing pay-per-view.
“Ambition is an admirable trait and I’m a strong advocate for having dreams that we live and die by. However, it is important to ensure that whilst chasing our dreams we are aware of the bigger picture that is life. In order to grow and maintain a realistic outlook on life it is important to acknowledge that defeat is very much possible and as individuals we aren’t invincible." - Mikey

Loose Fit Announce New LP 'Social Graces', Stream Title Track
Set for release on April 26 through FatCat Records, the record features 11 tracks of rhythmically-taut, anxiety-driven post-punk featuring the distinctive vocal chants of singer/sax player Anna Langdon. Pre-order your copy here.
Building on the success of their self-titled EP, the album expands the Loose Fit sound-world to include a dub-influenced march through social media bleakness, ACR-style exercises in rhythm and tension, and an atmospheric coda featuring eerie trumpet from drummer Kaylene Milner. It also features a number of the band’s concise, propulsive bangers including the title track and previous single ‘Exhale
Social Graces is a journey through familiar deeply human themes as well as sharp observations of contemporary absurdity. Lyrics about love, hope, fear, loss, and pain are woven amongst visual depictions of acquisition culture, weather patterns, digital life, adventures in wild landscapes, deep introspection, parties and mundane daily experiences.
“I think the album is a truthful document of a weird time. Covid-era has sucked (of course), but did give us time to explore new sounds and ways of working. It was a shit time to be a band, but it was great to have a vessel to channel all our anxieties and pent-up energy into. I think the album has all that fucked-up 2020/2021 energy in it.”, Bassist Richard Martin says.
New single - also called ‘Social Graces’ - is a frantic 2’29” blast of nervy punk. The song was written in 2020 inspired by the nervous tension in the air after the initial months of covid-induced house arrest. People were finally allowed to meet in the federally sanctioned groups of 5, but found themselves too nervous to touch each other for fear of infection and felt awkward in communication. There was a sense of relearning how to be together.
It comes with a video, directed by Solomon Thomas, that riffs off the song’s themes of discomfort and social anxiety. Awkwardly miming in front of vintage painted stage backdrops, the band are transformed one-by-one into grotesquely-masked characters who try and fail to find the social “normal”.
