Brighton, UK Punks Harker Release Urgent New Single + Video “Out The Window” |
“With a sound that scratches all of the right MTV’s 120 Minutes, circa 1994, spots, Harker is a UK band after my own heart. The UK outfit reminded me of the same kind of angsty melodic vibe groups like Samiam, Gameface, and Superchunk gave off, but there’s also a nuanced dissonance to a lot of their material. Basically, Creation Records would have probably been into them back in the day.”- No Echo “…harkens back to the glory days of ’90s fuzzed-out guitar rock, with a bit of ’70s proto-punk thrown in as well.”- Consequence of Sound |
Brighton, UK punk rock powerhouse HARKER have released a new single titled “Out The Window.” Watch the video: https://youtu.be/JqUZ-CbDfFU. Video by Sam Luck / @luckysamphoto Recorded by Tim Greaves at Southsea Sound Stream on DSPs The track is inspired by the persistent existential angst of the impending climate crisis, ‘Out The Window ’is a furious, yet thoughtful modern protest anthem. Harker fits perfectly into the cultural zeitgeist, fusing elements of the post-punk revival with vintage power-pop hooks. Capturing the despair of a generation left to deal with the problem on their own, this is one of the most urgent punk songs to emerge from the UK this year. Live dates: 24th June – Booze Cruise, Hamburg (Germany) 30th June – Prince Albert, Brighton (UK) 8th July – Right To Roam, Bolton (UK) 15th July – Guildhall, Portsmouth (UK) * Supporting Authority Zero 28th October – One For The Road Festival, York (UK) |
