| UK Ska-Punk stalwarts Faintest Idea have released a brand new single ‘Nose Dive’ taken from their forthcoming album, which will be release early 2023. Nose Dive is stream everywhere now – https://linktr.ee/faintestidea |
| Lyrically the song addresses trying to balance being politically active while having to hold down a full time job to keep your head above the water. Questioning whether you’re doing enough politically but also having no time to do any more. |
| Dani, Faintest Idea’s vocalist and bassist, says “it’s taken us a fair amount of time to finish this album in part due to us wanting to make sure we threw everything we had into it and making sure we made it all sound as big as possible. This was massively helped by the whole thing being mastered by the legendary Alan Douches (Against Me!, Bad Brains, Slackers)”. |
| Nose Dive features guest vocals from the one and only Riskee from ‘Riskee & the Ridicule’ and incredible keys provided by Rikk Richardson from ‘The JB Conspiracy’. |
| With Faintest Idea’s album just around the corner they will be loads more announcements soon. But in the mean time catch them on tour with The Slackers next week; 26/9 – Hare & Hounds – Birmingham 27/9 – Retro – Manchester 28/9 – Parish – Huddersfield 29/9 – Kanteena – Lancaster 30/9 – Underworld – London 1/10 – Brudennel Social Club – Leeds 2/10 – Think Tank – Newcastle 3/10 – The Exchange – Bristol Faintest Idea take the bouncing beat of 2 Tone Ska and smash it over the head with fast, angry UK Punk. Hailing from the East Anglian region of Britain the rabble rousing political lyrics are shouted over layers of catchy brass lines and heavy boot stomping beats. Playing anywhere and everywhere from squats to bars to festival main stages and drawing inspiration from bands such as The Specials, The Filaments & Operation Ivy this is angry political commentary that you can shout along to while stomping your feet. |

(review) Between Bodies – Electric Sleep
Between Bodies are from Germany and this is their new full length album containing 11 songs. After listening to as a whole and when writing this, I must admit that I enjoyed this one through and through. This is a nice record filled with melodic, emotional punk rock with lots of melody, heart and superb songwriting and lyrics. The vocals are beautiful, fitting just perfectly to the songs. Guitar work delivers punk rock melodies, energy and strength but there are also some indie and post punk influences here and there, as well as pop punk. But, rather this band being snotty clone or boring pop punk, Between Bodies have that something what it takes to write great songs and play great music. This is mid tempo, not fast, but strong material nonetheless. My personal favorites are Stronger Than Me, Gallows and Crosses In The Distance.
