Harker, the punk quartet hailing from Brighton, have revealed their new single ‘No Radio’, which serves as a final taster of their forthcoming full length ‘All That Remains’. Watch the music video now too. Vocalist and guitarist Mark Boniface pontificates on the inspiration behind the track: “A true, genuine friendship is something rare. It’s something that I’ve always struggled with in my life due to how my brain is wired. Maybe that’s why I feel like I lose friends all the time, always being the first out the door at the sign of something positive going on. I don’t know, maybe I’m just an asshole.”
‘All That Remains’ was recorded and mixed by Toby May (The Levellers, The Wedding Present, CLT DRP), with additional production from the band, and mastered by Jason Livermore (Propagandhi, Rise Against, Hot Water Music, NOFX) at Blasting Room Studios. Harker’s third album, it’s by far their most ambitious and fully realised work to date, and the first to feature guitarist Louis May joining the established line up of Boniface, Phoebe Saunders (bass) and Matt Claxton (drums). Recorded in their hometown at the Levellers’ Metway Studio, the album captures a band pushing their sound forward while staying rooted in the raw honesty that defines them.
It also includes the recently-released ‘Hell Knows When’, and lead single ‘Dislocation’, which appeared on the Kerrang! Chart and K! Radio Fresh Blood with Rock Sound noting the band are “adding more layers to their heart-on-sleeve punk legacy.” The full-length incorporates ‘Redacted’ (“about the past you’d rather forget — mistakes, regrets, and once-friends that haunt you”) and Harker’s self-deprecating but rousing anti-anthem ‘I Ruin Everything’ too. That song—an explosive reflection on living with ADHD and Boniface’s own diagnosis—served as the first taste of the new record’s raw emotional core.
To celebrate the release, Harker will tour the UK this autumn, bringing their cathartic and high-energy live show to stages across the country.
