MC16 Drop New Album “We’re Gonna Need A Milkman”

Following the success of last year’s debut full length, Machine Code, UK punk festival stalwarts MC16 make a swift return with their sophomore album, We’re Gonna Need A Milkman, that was produced by Dave Draper. Whilst their new album has a sunnier outlook, the album does still paddle in the muddy puddles of modern life, covering subjects like helping a drug addict friend, the commercial exploitation of Mars, AI overtaking evolution, bias against regional accents, and how we are descended from apes yet treat them terribly.

“Trouble on your doorstep? Need the police? Nah, we’re gonna need a milkman. The public trust in milkmen is high! (yet only 62 % for the police according to the recent YouGov poll). The Milkman’s early morning whistling is the soundtrack of a happy society. Keep Calm and Carry On! Everything is going to be ok! Although some milkmen block the damn road sometimes when they are delivering which is bloody annoying when you are trying to get to work. This album is not as political as the last one. Politics gets us really angry which kind of dictates what the songs turn out like so we wanted this album to be more personal because we can actually be happy sometimes.”
