Hotly tipped London punks Out of Love are delighted to share lead single ‘Hello Trouble’, taken from their second EP Funny Feeling which is out today via Gallows’ label Venn Records.
Commenting on the track, front man Jack Rogers said: “I wrote this song at a point in my life where I felt like I had no control of my ‘future’ I was making countless self destructive mistakes, lying to myself and everyone close to me and I could see myself turning into someone I really did not want to be. Hello Trouble is a love letter and apology to everyone I have ever hurt, including myself. I finally feel like I am getting better and each day is a day where I am more proud to be myself, But getting caught up in your own head and anxieties is an easy trap to fall into. I hope anyone struggling listens to this and feels less alone!”
With a grunge-tinged punk sound that fans of Culture Abuse, Gnarwolves, Drug Church, and Milk Teeth will find plenty to revel in, the band made a huge splash (no pun intended) when they dropped their incredible, and very wet, music video for ‘S.L.U.M.P’ back in February of 2020—the track was picked up by BBC Radio 1 and Kerrang! Radio, and soon enough Out Of Love were the band on everyone’s lips, with coverage from Rock Sound, Kerrang! Magazine, DSCVRD and more.
“I think we capture that energy and ethos of all the hardcore bands we love mixed with the catchy nostalgic hooks we grew up on,” says Rogers, namechecking the likes of Green Day, Descendents, Sonic Youth, and Nirvana as key influences. Their 2020 debut EP I Am Not Me was released in July 2020 and contained four grunge pop anthems about growing up and finding meaning on this deeply problematic planet we call home.
To celebrate the release the band have also shared details of their first live dates with two exclusive release shows at The Craufurd Arms, Milton Keynes on 17th September 2021 and The Engine Rooms, London on 18th September 2021.
The Funny Feeling EP is released 16th April 2021 via Venn Records.
