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 (see below for listings).
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 finding time to write and record the album, and then still managing to make it to the pub for a pint or two to celebrate.
“We blasted it out in two lots of long weekend sessions to keep the energy high and fast paced, just like our live gigs,” say the band of the experience. “Thanks to the fuel of an array of Pot Noodles and medicinal drugs we created a Loose Articles extravaganza bedazzled with big riffs, footy whistles and cowbells to keep you on your toes!”
Keeping true to their roots, the band recorded, mixed and co-produced the record up north with partner in crime Ian Stewart at Blueprint Studios, on the Costa Del Salford, and the album was mastered by Katie Tavini (Los Bitchos, Rudimental, Arlo Parks, Bloc Party, Nadine Shah).
The recording sessions were full of laughs, synchronised dancing and claps, creating the perfect pinball sounds, and the odd cheeky trip to celebrate at Elbow’s favourite pub, The Eagle Inn.
The record will be available on a limited run of leopard print effect vinyl and 4 different footballing CDs, each one representing a different band member (Everton, FC United, The Corinthians Ladies FC and Loose Articles FC).
Now…what are you waiting for, grab your fast passes and get in line for the ride of your life!
Further new music and live dates will be revealed over the coming months.
