Darko‘s new single, Aggro, is a blistering audio assault, venting the frustrations and anguish of working life and uncontrollable external factors stifling progress. The lyrics, penned by bassist Karl Sursham, will resonate with anyone stuck on a long call, waiting for a straightforward answer from a company but being hopelessly bounced around departments. Crushing guttural screams seamlessly flow into anthemic singalongs, with the frothing anger of Converge but irresistible hooks of The Offspring.

“Big companies often think of you as a number and not a human. Management cover their tracks by lying and blaming the staff below them rather than listening and learning about what they can do better, unaware of the damage it causes again and again.” (Karl Sursham)

Released today via Lockjaw Records in Europe and Thousand Island Records in North America, Aggro is the second single from Greyscale, the nihilistic second chapter of a trilogy of releases from the veteran South East England quintet. Pre-orders for a collectors edition 3 EP set chronicling the whole project, including 2022’s Sparkle, and an upcoming third EP are live now. Darko will appear at Manchester Punk Festival on Sunday 31st March, Lincoln’s Badlands Festival on the 6th April and will tour Canada with The Corps in May.
