<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nCLUB BRAT<\/strong> is a high-intensity punk\/noise pop band defying traditional labels, blending jagged guitars, bass-heavy dissonance, and volatile rhythmic urgency. Originally from Peterborough and now split between Bristol and London, the five-piece formed in 2023 and quickly earned a reputation for unpredictable live shows and a relentless DIY ethos, while still working with some of underground music\u2019s most respected engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their upcoming EP, \u20184 Songs\u2019 (out 12th September via VENN Records<\/strong>), was recorded at HUMM Studios with Dom Mitchison<\/strong> and Archie Jones<\/strong>, and mastered by Bob Weston<\/strong> of Shellac<\/strong> – a clear nod to the Albini<\/strong> school of stark, unvarnished production. But the EP isn\u2019t political in content – it\u2019s political in form: concise, deliberate, and unapologetically direct. Yet CLUB BRAT resists comfortable interpretation. Their songs provoke, not preach – inviting listeners to draw their own conclusions and turning each encounter into something personal and open-ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The lead single from \u20184 Songs\u2019, \u2018Goodbye Pop Culture\u2019, is out now with a video by Chris Hugall<\/strong> (Split Dogs<\/strong>), and it\u2019s a jarring, yet infectiously pulsing and rhythmic clamour that plugs directly into the electronics of dance as much as it does the discordant guitars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGoodbye Pop Culture<\/em> lives in the tension between form and collapse, tradition and mutation, the past and what\u2019s next,\u201d explains guitarist Joe Smith. \u201cIt\u2019s concise, deliberate, and unapologetically direct. CLUB BRAT doesn\u2019t preach. We resist easy interpretation. This song won\u2019t tell you what to think – it invites you to feel, to sit with the discomfort, and come to your own understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
