No nostalgia. No silence. No joyless protest. We make music to move bodies and shift ideas because if you can’t dance to it, it’s not our revolution.
It’s taken them ten years but here they are with their new album Rethink Everything.
Interrobang haven’t just made a new record they’ve basically rewired the engine and fundamentally rethought how urgency sounds.
This record marks a decisive move away from their previous guitar-led confrontational sound. It’s a reinvention of sorts toward something more rhythmic and propulsive. At the heart of that shift is Griff, whose full embrace of synths, samplers, loops and electronic production has reshaped Interrobang into something groovier, more unmistakably dance-driven.
Against this new backdrop, Dunstan Bruce delivers lyrics that remain as uncompromising as ever. For Bruce, the album remains a restless interrogation of identity, relevance and responsibility. Once positioned at the sharp edge of cultural agitation, he now writes from within contradiction: angry but reflective, politicised yet self-critical, painfully aware of both his own history and his own limits. Lyrics oscillate between manifesto, confession and dark humour, delivered not as lectures, but as challenges. The shift in sound doesn’t soften the message; it sharpens it.
The album captures a moment of personal, political and cultural emergency. Together, Bruce and Griff reject the idea that political music must be po-faced, worthy or joyless. Pleasure becomes fuel here. This is music that understands that urgency doesn’t have to shout. It’s insistent yet alluring. Rhythm becomes rhetoric and the dancefloor becomes a place of resistance, connection and rejuvenation. The philosophy underpinning the album is simple and unapologetic: if you can’t dance to it, it’s not our revolution.
The album repeatedly returns to the idea that revolution is not a single moment but a process. Art is framed not as commentary but as action; creativity as a tool to agitate, advocate and amplify. Speaking out has a cost, the record acknowledges but silence will cost us more. Throughout, there is an insistence that trying still matters and that effort itself is a form of resistance. There is rage here, but also humility, humour and a refusal to disengage, a refusal to surrender pleasure as collateral damage and a defiant refusal to go quietly.
Why Interrobang?!
The interrobang (‽) is that striking punctuation mark which fuses the question mark and the exclamation mark into one: a symbol of astonished inquiry, an exclamation of disbelief, a call to arms and a refusal to stay silent. In the same spirit, Interrobang?! the band emerged out of not just an urge to speak but a desire to shout above the noise of a seemingly sedated world.
Origins & Name
Formed initially in 2012 and rooted between Brighton and Leeds, Interrobang?! sprang from the restlessness of Dunstan and Griff who refused to accept comfort, nostalgia or inertia. Their vision and determination to create something that speaks to the generation who grew up in the shadow of punk, with hopes and dreams, full of rebellion who may feel that they are becoming invisible and irrelevant became their obsession.
They are activists, musicians, provocateurs. They embody the interrobang symbol itself; asking the question and shouting the exclamation simultaneously. Their newfound mantra is: “If you can’t dance to it, it’s not our revolution.” Their mission is to include themselves in the coalition of musicians, performers, artists and activists who won’t shut up. They have a single mission: to challenge apathy and middle-aged complacency with furious honesty, wit and a deadly groove.
Debut Album
Their self-titled album Interrobang?! was released March 2018 on All The Madmen Records. The album laid bare Bruce’s reflections on entering his fifties — struggles, discontent, anger and hope in a setting of frenetic punk-funk noise. It reached out to those asking: How do I make myself heard now? Where do I fit in? Bruce’s battleground lyrically is very much confronting the mid-life malaise, political dissatisfaction and existential restlessness.
It was praised by Louder Than War as “a mid-life crisis punk record that punches through the fog of nostalgia and lands squarely in the now.”
Current Members
Dunstan Bruce (vocals) — Coming from the anarcho-cabaret roots of Chumbawamba, Bruce brings a lifelong commitment to activism, audacious lyricism and a voice grown hoarse with both anger and humour.
Stephen Griffin (guitar/synth/sampler/vocals) — Previously of the London outfit Regular Fries, Griff channels the jagged, anti-rock aesthetics while adding his own propulsive urgency now augmented with synth and samples and driving beats.
Stephen Gilchrist (drums/vocals) — Also known as Stephen EvEns, Gilchrist’s pedigree spans drumming with Graham Coxon, Art Brut and many more. His inclusion in Interrobang?! brings not just percussive firepower but a depth of musical experience that elevates the trio’s intensity.
Aesthetic & Development & Evolving Sound
Interrobang?! did describe their sound as angular, taut, urgent, pulsating and intense. Their music borrowed the anti-rock minimalism and nervous energy of bands like Wire and Gang of Four, mixed with motor-driven propulsion and sharp funk underpinning.
Now the music is embracing new technology; synths, beats and samples pepper the soundscape whilst Griff’s guitar still embraces that angularity and anti-rock aesthetic as well as giving a nod to some 70/80s Bowie. Let’s chuck in some LCD Soundsystem, some Chalk and a touch of Sleaford Mods and some Amen Corner too.
This time they’re calling it agit-synth.
Griff’s driving synth lines underpin Bruce’s lyrical broadsides: raging against hypocrisy, rampaging capitalism, internet machismo and the creeping numbness of late-stage adulthood. They still address such questions like what happened to that spark inside? How do you express your anger now? And how do we make ourselves heard and where do we fit in? Yeah, they’re still full of righteous anger about the state of the world. But now they’re looking for the hope, the inspiration, the desire, the way forward out of this hellscape.
Their sophomore album “Rethink Everything” is to be released late April 2026 on FOAD Musick. It’s a banger with a single or two beforehand too. Once again, they’re working with Richard Formby on this Interrobang 2.0
Their live shows remain part gig, part group therapy, part punk sermon.
Expect to feel seen, confronted, and maybe even saved for three minutes at a time. Because Interrobang?! aren’t just a band; they’re a question shouted at the world. In the world of the interrobang, silence is not an option. And they’re not done yet.
