LOOSE ARTICLES have announced a new album!

Titled Scream If You Wanna Go Faster, the upcoming album from the Manchester-based indie punk band is their debut full-length album, and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Alcopop! Records.

The band juggled gigging every weekend in 2023 with their 9-5 jobs, somehow finding time to write and record the album, and then still managing to make it to the pub for a pint or two to celebrate. “We blasted it out in two lots of long weekend sessions to keep the energy high and fast paced, just like our live gigs,” says the band of the experience. “Thanks to the fuel of an array of Pot Noodles and medicinal drugs we created a LOOSE ARTICLES extravaganza bedazzled with big riffs, footy whistles and cowbells to keep you on your toes!”

Keeping true to their roots, the band recorded, mixed and co-produced the record up north with partner in crime Ian Stewart at Blueprint Studios, in Salford, and the album was mastered by Katie Tavini [LOS BITCHOS, RUDIMENTAL, ARLO PARKS, BLOC PARTY, NADINE SHAH].

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, LOOSE ARTICLES have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Mr Manager. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from I’d Rather Have A Beer, which was released back in February.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, “Mr. Manager is a song about being stuck in the daily grind of a managerial nightmare. A job is a job until it becomes an occupational hazard.”
