Punk crossover outfit Midwich Cuckoos have revealed their searing new single, Sucker, which heralds the news of their forthcoming second album, Death or Glory, which will initially be released separately as 2 EPs, Death and Glory, via Onslaught Music. Death is set for release on 24th November 2021, Glory will follow on the 23rd February 2022 with the full album set for physical release on the 8th April 2022.

Over the past couple of years the Midwich Cuckoos have carved out a name for themselves on the UK punk scene as a stellar live act, earning comparisons to The Bronx, The Offspring and The Distillers. Now, they’re taking things in an entirely different direction. Wielding an ambitious and experimental concept album with a narrative that follows new vocalist Tanzy Valayne‘s journey of atonement to regain entry to heaven, the new look Midwich Cuckoos are a fine tuned twelve legged rock ’n roll, punk and metal machine.

“The approach we took for our first album was a really experimental approach at the time, and we recorded it remotely in various countries and timezones. We basically did the lockdown album before it was cool! The new album is more audibly cohesive, but it’s a wild ride for the listener. Now that we’ve introduced Tanzy and Rob into the band and had a few years playing with them, we’ve worked out our strengths and been able to really have fun with 3 guitars. Plus with 6 people in the band, we’re not short of ideas.”
