Colt 45 Announce New EP, UK Shows

Cumbrian punk rock outfit Colt 45 have announced that their new EP Snakes & Ladders will be released on April 29th. Drummer Adam Lewis has said this about the new material:

Snakes & Ladders is our reaction to the current state of the rock scene. Bar a few exceptions it just doesn’t say anything to us, and we wanted to make a record that had the same appeal as the ones we listened to growing up.
“Bands like The Movielife, Brand New, The Replacements, Alkaline Trio, The Ataris, Hot Water Music – those records made you feel like you belonged to part of something that was bigger than the sum of its parts, that anyone with a guitar or a drum kit could start a band and have a go.

“The whole point of music for us is that it’s inclusive, it brings people together and there’s a shared platform where artists and fans are on the same level. Just do what you like and get out there and show people.”

The band also recently recorded and released a charity single to raise funds for those affected by the extreme flooding in Cumbria, check out the track here, and you can donate the relief effort here.

You can also check out the band’s upcoming shows, alongside Southampton indie outfit FAUX.
