The video was directed by Thomas James who shared this about it: “For me, this needed to be punk, absurd, abrasive and wild. An ugly reflection of the world we find ourselves in; utter fucking chaos. We talked around the idea of a ‘carnival of distraction’ – and for me, this meant as many ideas as would squeeze into the 3 minutes, that embody the 2+2=5 hell-scape we seem to be surrounded by.

A whirlwind of Irish mythology, of satire, of anger. A vehicle for what the boys have been through, but likewise, for what everyone is witnessing. It’s not often you get to work with a band who have a genuine fire, and a selfless interest in trying to help people. And that for all of us involved, was important.

The video became a nightmarish fuck you to the powers that be, with a wry smile and a lubed up prop selection.”

KNEECAP shared this about the album: “They tried to stop us by branding Kneecap ‘terrorists’, with cancellations, with statements from the Prime Minister himself.

We had all the motivation we needed…this isn’t a swift reaction, but a considered response to those that tried to silence us. And failed.

Made with Dan Carey, a producer we are honored to have worked with. It’s a more sinister sound…because these are sinister times. But also defiant and triumphant.

Inspired by, and proudly named ‘Fenian’, who were warriors in Irish folklore, and later a derogatory term for the Irish.

Now we’re using it to name everyone speaking truth to power.

After 800 years of colonisation, they thought the Irish language would die, it didn’t. Thanks to Muintir na Gaeltachta, and all the Gaels who refused to let their culture and language be destroyed.

And Kneecap is much the same…we haven’t gone away.

The Paddies are back.”

Blackwater Holylight have shared the third single, “Fade”, off their upcoming album “Not Here Not Gone” out January 30th via Suicide Squeeze Records.

Sunny Faris shared this about the song: “‘Fade’ is a song that is a true stamp in time. It was written during a time of deep confusion and loneliness and is an ode to the big and deep waves of emotion we all experience when our relationships come to an end, they shift or they express something unexpected within it. The sample at the end of this song was taken in our neighborhood in Los Angeles and is an ode to our neighbors and this city that we love.”

10. Dream

Max Clarke shared this about the Jeff Tweedy produced album: “The stories in these songs are equal parts innocence and experience dealing with the ecstatic moments of being freshly enamored with the world as well as the isolation and seclusion that can come after. On view are the unseen inner sanctums of quiet daily life the private worlds that people inhabit, where they don’t or can’t let anyone else in. It is not a uniquely American phenomenon, but it does seem prevalent here, rooted in the mythos of rugged individualism and the idea that each person must be strong enough to make it on their own or die.”

Nicola Kaperus shared this about the song: “A lyric that was written in early 2025 and is even more relevant on its release date a year later. A song speaking to moral collapse and political corruption ‘to a T.’ These subhumans attempting to run the show are more concerned with cashing in and political cosplay than the well being of mankind. While working on this album, I read an article from an esteemed environmental scientist about ‘what’s coming in the future.’ What stuck with me was their point that we are entering a new phase in existence where the most important thing we can do is know our neighbors and know the strengths of each other and what resources everyone has. Who needs extra care? Who is on their own? This song was written as a call to arms. Be alert. Be aware. Be prepared. Stand up for yourself and look out for your community. We are better when we are united. Social media is wearing us down. Deluding us. The political landscape is horrifying, distracting, deranged and unhinged. We are seeing this go down in real time right now in Minneapolis… NO ONE IS COMING TO YOUR RESCUE… except ALL OF US! Keep speaking up! Keep using your right to protest and most importantly keep showing kindness to one another.”

Adam Lee Miller shared this: “You have two choices in this hellscape we’re living in right now, which is either fight or be depressed. Either one is okay. But, you know, the choice was simple.”

The band will go on tour starting this April in support of the album, dates below.

Sugar have shared a new 7″ single, “Long Live Love” b/w “”House Of Dead Memories”.

Bob Mould shared this about the song: “I wrote ‘Long Live Love’ in 2007 while living in Washington DC. It was the George W. Bush era, I was deep in my DJ world with Blowoff, yet still writing pop songs on guitars. Garbage 2.0 is one of my desert island albums, so it’s not surprising that ‘Long Live Love’ reminds me of a long lost Garbage song!”

9) They Told Me Jump, I Said How High
10) I’M YOUR FIEND

Ethan Ramos shared this about the song: “‘GOLDSTAR’ is the worst person you know yelling at God to give them a sign that they are good. In a deliberately unserious way, we want the song to prompt the same question that the album raises, which is, if you are a good person for the wrong reasons, does that detract from your goodness?”
