Staff Party Share Title Track From Upcoming “Dread” EP

Brighton noise rock trio Staff Party have revealed the title track from their forthcoming debut EP, Dread, which will be released on 25th April 2023. The track follows on from pounding lead single, Ego Death, which was released earlier this year and was a blistering introduction to the three piece’s sound.

“I have tried—but am completely unable to—write happy songs. When I want to write about something, typically I take a look around and something which pisses me off, confuses me, or scares me, is usually what inspires me the most. It’s hard not to draw on the awful state and chaos the world is in at the moment, as well. Just browsing the Internet can be a rich and endless source of horror. I also consider myself a fairly introspective, and potentially sentimental person, so much of what I write about is based on aspects of my own psyche and personality. It feels cathartic to articulate those thoughts in the form of loud, aggressive music. I enjoy the fact that ‘Dread’, with probably the most upbeat and bouncy sounding instrumental, still has these introspective dark lyrics to juxtapose it. I couldn’t even let the fun catchy song be nice.” (frontman Ed Lamb)
