New single from punk duo The Sewer Cats!

Answer the Question is the first single from The Sewer Cats debut album ‘Cute Aggression’, which is set for release on TNSrecords on 15.04.22.

Answer the Question was born out of frustration with the catastrophe of a government and the endless lies upon lies. Its about trying to hold politicians to account while they weasel out of one shocking blunder after another. Released today alongside a new video, the single is available to stream everywhere.

Ferocious, fuzzy, feline-inclined… The Sewer Cats are an explosive Manchester-based punk duo delivering riotous tunes of patriarchy-smashing fury. Their short and snappy songs have been described as ‘catchy and scathing’, bursting with hooky riffs drenched in fuzz and aggressive riot-grrrl vocals, all served up with a big helping of sass.

‘Cute Aggression’ follows on from The Sewer Cats’ frenetic debut EP ‘Zelda’, released in 2020. Written during lockdown, ‘Cute Aggression’ sees the band tread a darker path both lyrically and sonically, whilst embracing their wider musical influences. The result is a varied record that fuses The Sewer Cats’ classic garage punk and riot grrrl roots with smatterings of hardcore, atmospheric post-rock, doom and emo-hardcore.

Vocalist (and drummer) Cass gives a timeless and visceral vocal delivery on ‘Cute Aggression’. Dripping with sass, she explores feminist themes and the shit-storm of the political landscape that we find ourselves in. ‘Cute Aggression’ also delves into personal topics such as grief and loss and is clearly touched by the pervasive feeling that we seem to be careering towards a zombie apocalypse. It’s not all doom and gloom though, as The Sewer Cats still find time for their trademark tongue in cheek oddness, as epitomised by the title track and album ender.

The Sewer Cats have become known for their energetic live shows and fans will be pleased to hear that this is once again at the forefront of their latest release. ‘Cute Aggression’ is a huge sounding record with the band’s trademark fuzz-drenched guitar sound pounding out one massive riff after another.

‘Cute Aggression’ is full of changes in pace, tone and mood and is a record that keeps you on your toes from start to finish. With their debut album The Sewer Cats have found their feet as a band as they push themselves into new sonic territories.

Manchester ska punks Harijan released video for ‘Skint’!

Manchester’s Ska-Punk band Harijan release video for their second single ‘Skint’. The song looks at life being hard-up, having no money and struggling to get by.

Skint is the second single from Harijan’s self-titled debut album. The song is about being hard-up, having no money and struggling to get by. It’s about being hungry and not having enough for the gas and ‘leccy meters. It’s about being trapped, feeling you are a let-down and wishing you could be given just half a chance to realise your potential. In essence it’s a song about inequality and lack of opportunities as the riches in society are thrown in your face. You see money pouring into the city centre and you ponder a life of crime to break you out. The video simply depicts and documents Manchester, both outer and inner-city, from the car. It takes inspiration from Greg Meade’s artwork for the Harijan album and hopes to capture the vibes from his Habitats exhibition. The rows of housing contrasts the city skyscrapers, with various cultural, social and community nuggets placed throughout.
