The Bar Stool Preachers announce new album ‘Above The Static’

THE BAR STOOL PREACHERS have announced a new album!

Titled Above The Static, the upcoming album from the Brighton-based punk band is their third full-length album, and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Pure Noise Records.

In April 2021, together with producer Ben Hannah, the Brighton-based band set up camp at The Waterloo, a three-story pub/venue in the Northern seaside town of Blackpool, to begin the process that would lead to the process of making an album. But when they listened to Flatlined, the first song they committed to tape there, it dawned on them that it actually sounded like the finished product.

“We went in there with the idea of getting demos,” says frontman Tom McFaull. “We took a recording desk and everything we could fit in the car with us because we wanted to mess around and dial in a sound. But as soon as we recorded that first song, Ben and I just looked at each other and went ‘this sounds massive enough to be the real thing.’ We were there for about two-and-a-half weeks in total. The pub was closed because of Covid, so it was just us and Fletch (the owner). We’d go to bed for a few hours, wake up, the first person up would put the coffee on and press play on whatever we’d recorded the night before. We just lived it fully. We couldn’t re-record this album if we tried.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; All Turned Blue. Speaking about the new single, McFaull says, “this is a song for lovers, a song for shared lives and a song that tells the truth about the grey area between hearts. All Turned Blue epitomises the ever present conflict that comes with falling in love and growing up. Catchy, relatable and heartfelt, it’s a story about making hard decisions, moving out and staying true to yourself – all set to a tune that will move your feet and stick in your head for days. As we walk through life, we pick up responsibilities and if we’re lucky, people, along the way. When we love those people, sometimes that love changes us.”
