Coilguns Address “Platform Decay” On New Single & Video

Switzerland’s Coilguns have returned with their new single, Platform Decay, the final single to be taken from their forthcoming fifth studio album, Everything We Love, We Destroy, that will be released on the 6th November via Humus Records. Platform Decay‘ finds Coilguns turning their attention to the increasingly fractured world of the internet, delivering a furious yet ultimately hopeful response to the erosion of trust, information and independence online. Alongside the release of Platform Decay, the band have announced a run of 2027 UK & EU headline shows.

“Hopelessly witnessing the systemic enshittification of the internet made us want to celebrate the hackers and geeks that are fighting to keep the digital world independent. In times when reliable information has become a rare and questionable value, we’re constantly confronted with violent news, sometimes not knowing why we’re getting to read it, nor knowing how to determine its level of reality. Without the precious engagement of world wide web activists we would end up frozen like rabbits in headlights, so we yelled this anthem-like melody on repeat to loudly support the modern pirates of our digital oceans.”
