TOKKY HORROR have announced a new EP!

Titled KAPPACORE, the upcoming EP from the punk collective is their brand new studio release and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Venn Records.

Speaking about the upcoming EP, the band says, “this is the last thing we’ll put out before disappearing to record our album. It’s road tested, high energy material from the first era of TOKKY HORROR. We’ve wanted to meld breakbeats with visceral guitars as we usually do, but expanded our range of sampling further and pushed our weirdness at times, there’s less out-and-out riffs and more times where our love of ORBITAL and APHEX TWIN shines through. It’s still a record for the punks, just not purists.”

Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming EP; Toilet.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, “Toilet is a heartbreak song about falling out of love with a scene. I grew up feeling like a punk scene, or a DIY scene, or an activist scene would be this perfect space of inclusivity. Somewhere where we’ll all be welcome and motivated to actively bring around the change we talk about. That perspective is probably a little naive, and with time we’ve grown to see we should be creating new scenes and new spaces. Inspired by the energy those original movements but being the changes we feel they need. I always felt more at home in a punk club than a ‘gay bar’, that doesn’t mean those spaces are ‘wrong’ it just means there is a sub-culture of people who don’t have a space. So here with TOKKY HORROR, we want to create one.”
