Bonny Lad Release “Hard Fought” Debut EP

Bonny Lad have released their debut EP, Hard Fought, via Cat’s Claw Records, Double Helix Records, Disconnect Disconnect Records, No Reason Records and Punk Rock Radar. Hard Fought delivers breakneck skatepunk anthems marked by technical precision, big choruses, and introspective lyricism that speaks to the resilience shown by communities across the world in the face of discrimination, subjugation, and militaristic aggression. Formed in the North of England from members of The Human Project, Bear Trade and Tripdash, the band channels the speed and melody of early-2000s skatepunk staples like Slick Shoes and Rufio, infused with the social conscience of Propagandhi, which is delivered with a uniquely Northern edge thanks to the experiences, and distinctive regional accents, of its members.

“The response to our first single, The Discourse, which came out in May, has been really encouraging, and we can’t wait to get the other songs out into the world. The UK’s punk scene is thriving at the moment, and we’re looking forward to people hearing our take.” (vocalist Johnny Walker)
