Their fifth, and by far their best full-length album &#8211; \u2018Roden House Blues\u2019 &#8211; was written, rehearsed, and recorded during this period and will be released May 5<sup>th<\/sup>, 2023, via The Sign Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Hip Priests - Just To Get By\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jHQznz5PUY0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rehearsed, recorded and mixed between the numerous U.K lockdowns in Roden House, one of Nottingham\u2019s former lace factories where the Priests have their own space, and which spawned the album title. This is no Mississippi Blues but perhaps it makes more sense than you think: Howling laments, loss, self-reflection and revelation &#8211; alongside some recurring Priests lyrical themes: negativity, nihilism, rage and revolution. After 2019\u2019s \u2018Stand for Nothing\u2019 the band were unsure whether they\u2019d do another album \u2013 However, global lockdown inadvertently led to a renewed passion and realisation that, like Jagger said, \u2018\u2019what can a poor boy do\u2019 \u2013 especially when feeling more lost in a world that increasingly resembles a dumpster fire. A few dozen demos were scrutinised of which, through a stricter than ever group consensus, 14 were recorded but then honed down, razor sharp, into the tightest collection of 11 low-fat, lean and mean banging tunes that could fit into 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week we get to feel another white-hot blast straight from the album\u2019s furnace in new single \u2018Just To Get By\u2019, which finds the band in rare reflective form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery day can be a struggle and happiness really is an inside job. None of us are perfect. Every day we\u2019re pitted against each other and ourselves by a world that increasingly looks like a dumpster fire that wants to incinerate us. What can we do to just get by?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps just trying to improve, rise above and be a better person is an act of revenge nowadays. A number one single in an alternate universe with a guitar riff of such hook and beauty it was surely dropped from the Rock heavens.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t JUST do Nihilism, Negativity, Rage and Revolution you know\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This month also sees The Hip Priests team up with Northern Ireland\u2019s The Dangerfields for an Irish tour. Having known each other for years and toured together back in 2010, when the bands paths crossed again last year, the idea of finally sorting that long talked about Irish tour was set in stone. And so The Hip Priests first time in Ireland kicks off in Derry on Weds 22nd March followed by four other shows all across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Come along for an evening (or in Dublin&#8217;s case, afternoon) of face-ripping, ball-crushing, ass-immolating rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll played by a bunch of doozies far too old to know any better!<br>There will be loud guitars and rock poses, bad words and everything!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hip-Priests-Irish-tour-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hip-Priests-Irish-tour-724x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hip-Priests-Irish-tour-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hip-Priests-Irish-tour-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hip-Priests-Irish-tour-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hip-Priests-Irish-tour-1086x1536.jpg 1086w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hip-Priests-Irish-tour-1448x2048.jpg 1448w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hip-Priests-Irish-tour-1140x1612.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hip-Priests-Irish-tour-scaled.jpg 1810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u2018Roden House Blues\u2019 is released May 5<sup>th<\/sup> via The Sign Records and available to pre-order <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehippriests.com\/merch\">HERE<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FIND THE HIP PRIESTS ONLINE AT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehippriests.com\">WEBSITE<\/a> \/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thehippriests\/\">FACEBOOK<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/thehippriests1.bandcamp.com\/merch\">BANDCAMP \/<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thehippriests?lang=en\">TWITTER<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thehippriests\/?hl=en\">INSTAGRAM<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>CATCH THE HIP PRIESTS LIVE AT THE FOLLOWING DATES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>March<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ireland (With The Dangerfields)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wednesday 22nd Bennigans, Derry<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thursday 23rd Cellar Bar, Galway<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday 24th Fred Zeppelin\u2019s, Cork<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday 25<sup>th<\/sup> Hop House, Bangor<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunday 26th Wild Duck, Dublin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>April<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Germany (With Lucifer Star Machine)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thursday 27th Sonic Ballroom, Cologne<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday 28th Freakshow, Essen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday 29th Zollkantine, Bremen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunday 30th Indra Musikclub, Hamburg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>May<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UK (With Bitch Queens)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thursday 25th The Pipeline, Brighton<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday 26th Hope And Anchor, London<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday 27th Nice And Sleazy, Morecambe<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunday 28<sup>th<\/sup> Old Angel, Notts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>June<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UK (With Zeke)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tuesday 20<sup>th<\/sup> Exchange, Bristol<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wednesday 21st Parish, Huddersfield<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thursday 22<sup>nd<\/sup> New Cross Inn, London<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>September<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thursday 28<sup>th<\/sup> Trillians, Newcastle<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday 29<sup>th<\/sup> Bannermans, Edinburgh<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday 30<sup>th<\/sup> Waterloo, Blackpool<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRE-ORDER THE ALBUM HERE: The Hip Priests.
