Manchester punks Loose Articles are delighted to reveal their long-awaited debut album, titled Scream If You Wanna Go Faster, which will be released on 7th June 2024 via Alcopop! Records.To celebrate the news, the quartet will release the album’s lead single ‘Mr. Manager’ on 17th April 2024 via all good digital service providers.
Commenting on the new track, the band say: “Mr. Manager is a song about being stuck in the daily grind of a managerial nightmare. A job is a job until it becomes an occupational
hazard!”
On the live front, the band have a huge support slot with Foo Fighters this summer, a freshly announced May 2024 support slot with The Lovely Eggs, UK co-headline tour dates with label mates CHROMA, plus appearances at Hit The South, Right To Roam
Festival, Rebellion, Green Man, Edinburgh Psych Fest and more, with further dates TBA
A rollercoaster of a release, forthcoming debut album Scream If You Wanna Go Faster covers everything from the highs of being pinball champions to the lows of having to deal
with rubbish jobs and managers, inviting all-comers to jump aboard and throw those hands in the air like you just don’t care.
The Loose Women juggled gigging every weekend in 2023 with their 9-5 jobs, somehow.
Cooking up a plastic fantastic disco-punk sound from a collage of musical influences, Manchester four-piece The Red Stains embrace the kitsch and the tacky as a power to disrupt the male-dominated music industry. Their sharp and sarcastic lyrics hold a mirror up to domestic everyday life: consumerism, mental illness, public transport, discount supermarkets and being queer. Forming the Red Stains’ distinctive ready-meal-punk sound are four ingredients: Natalie Lauren’s fiery and powerful vocals hang over a backdrop of Sterling Kelly’s gritty, throbbing bass, and newly added into the mix are Robyn Elliott’s drum beats that demand your attention and Grace Allport’s cosmic guitar that shapeshifts through pedals to create the familiar ‘Red Stains’ chaos. Turn your microwaves up, turn the volume up, turn the hoover on and get ready to dance your socks off.
