Midlands hardcore mob LASTHOUNDS return with explosive third single ‘Balaclava’, out 28th September via London label Venn Records (Gallows, Bob Vylan). ‘Burden’, the band’s debut full length is out 22nd October and LASTHOUNDS have two headline shows the following month to celebrate the release.

The band had the following to say about the new single:
“‘Balaclava’ is a song that represents the idea of feeling like you are watching the world through someone else’s eyes, and ultimately deciding enough is enough,” reveals vocalist Mikey Skelcher.  “We can only truly be content with our life choices when we deliberately chose to open our eyes and take control of our actions.”
The accompanying music video, shot and edited by Morgan Tedd at Erase Creative, is a claustrophobic tale of survival, pitching the LAST HOUNDS frontman against a gang of heavy set masked individuals. “The Balaclava in the video represents this false version of ourselves, one that we are forced to wear in order to conform,” Skelcher explains. “It’s very easy to feel comfortable while wearing your “mask” and making the correct life choices in line with social expectations, but only when you take it off will people be able to see the real and genuine you.”

In celebration of the release of LAST HOUNDS’ brand new album “Burden” the band will also be performing two album release shows both in Birmingham and London. The band had the following to say about the shows:

“We felt it was really important to celebrate the release of our debut record with two dedicated headline shows and give it the recognition it deserves. Every song we write, we write with a live show/crowd in mind, so to have shows dedicated solely to celebrate the release of debut record was really important to us. We want to give our record the recognition it deserves and have a fucking good party whilst doing so.


The first of the two release shows will be in Birmingham, our hometown, which is super exciting for us. With so much time on the road, a hometown show is always welcome, giving us the chance to go mental with our fans that have been with us from the start.

The second release show is in London, at The Black Heart no less, a venue that we have played many times before and absolutely love. The Black Heart had to fight to stay open during the Pandemic, so for it to keep its doors open ready for us to release this record is huge for us. We can’t wait to go back!”
