Irish four-piece noise-punk band Naked Lungs recently announced their highly anticipated debut album, “Doomscroll,” out 18th August and their first headline UK tour, bringing them to Southampton’s Heartbreakers on September 27th.
The album and tour come on the heels of a triumphant 2022, which saw the band release several singles and a self-titled EP that garnered international acclaim and plays on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 6 Music, as well as support from Anthony Fantano of The Needle Drop. They followed up with a year of high profile gigs, including two sold-out Therapy? supports, a successful headline UK tour, several sold-out Dublin headline shows and a festival run which saw them play a packed-out morning showcase at The Great Escape, as well as performing at the likes of Otherside Festival, Mutations Festival, and more. The band were also named as one of NME’s 100 for 2023,
The band’s recent single “Pressure” was a grinding and explosive introduction to their new album “Doomscroll”, and with new single “Relentless” they show no signs of abating.
Speaking about the track, the band say: “Relentless is us incorporating aspects from horror film soundtracks into a noise rock track – especially the steady build up leading to a sharp release of tension – almost like a jumpscare. Nasty noise, dirty drums and some above the pickup-fretting-fuckery helps it all come in a not so nice package.”
