Club Brat Drop “Four Songs” EP

Club Brat are a high intensity clash of Punk and Noise Pop that defy traditional labels with their blend of jagged guitars, bass-heavy dissonance and volatile rhythmic urgency. Originally from Peterborough, UK and now split between Bristol and London, the five-piece formed in 2023 and quickly earned a reputation for unpredictable live shows and a relentless DIY ethos, while still working with some of underground music’s most respected engineers. Their new EP, 4 Songs, that was recorded at HUMM Studios with Dom Mitchison and Archie Jones and was mastered by Bob Weston (Shellac), is a clear nod to the Steve Albini school of stark, unvarnished production. But the EP isn’t political in content, it’s political in form: concise, deliberate and unapologetically direct. Yet Club Brat resists comfortable interpretation. Their songs provoke, not preach, inviting listeners to draw their own conclusions and turning each encounter into something personal and open-ended.

Drawing on everything from Fugazi, Idles and Pixies to Drum ’n’ Bass and early 2000s Alternative, Club Brat refuses to be boxed in by genre. What defines them isn’t style, it’s urgency: raw, confrontational, and constantly evolving. 4 Songs is now available via Venn Records and Club Brat will be on tour in the UK from the 18th September when the tour kicks off at Leeds, Headingley Social Club.
