Marked out as a band to keep an eye out for very early on, their music was singled out for its honesty and integrity, and the band praised for their social awareness, calls for self-improvement and powerhouse live performances. Today, the band announce their anticipated follow-up album, <em>Wasted Energy<\/em>, along with new single <em>Thinking About You<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Pre-order <em>Wasted Energy <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/smarturl.it\/WastedEnergy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><strong><\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lkzfFx3RbSw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Press Club\u2019s sonic calling cards are all present on <em>Wasted Energy<\/em>; the fuzz-addled, kicked-in speaker bass of Iain MacRae, the thick guitar tones of Greg Rietwyk, the merciless drumming of Frank Lees, and the emotionally charged vocal deliverance of Natalie Foster. On new single <em>Thinking About You<\/em>, amongst the climactic clatter of the band giving it everything, is Foster recounting her experience with a stalker. Never one to shy away from what is uncomfortable, the song embodies a freak\u2019s tongue, cooing unbridled down the phone line; abrupt, uninvited, and out of the blue.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast to <em>Late Teens<\/em>, lyrically, <em>Wasted Energy <\/em>approaches the microphone through a lens of extrospection. It examines the negative behaviours in the world around us and how we\u2019re all learning to exist in today\u2019s ever-evolving socio-moral landscape. <em>Wasted Energy <\/em>is broadly about change, and life\u2019s watershed moments that change its course. These shifts are laterally represented lyrically and sonically in many of its songs. Sweeping about-faces and musical departures are an expansion of the musical fibre that make up the Press Club repertoire.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t miss the band in August as they embark on their biggest UK headline tour to date, including performances at Reading &amp; Leeds Festivals.
