TV Face Unleash “Happy New Year” Single & Video

Lancasters TV Face are set to end an incendiary year with a volatile new single, Happy New Year, that is culled from the bands second album, Wolf Rents Bark, that was released via Crackedankles Records in September of this year. Happy New Year is about as far away from the rosy-cheeked cheer of Auld Lang Syne as you could possibly get, instead, the caustic sonic barrage of Happy New Year is more protest than celebration. Crashing in with a tense, jarring bass and drum groove, Happy New Year blasts with bursts of sheet metal guitar before the chorus hook firmly embeds itself deep inside your cranium. For the video, the band were going to do something simple, then they didn’t. They did something mental instead.

“Live, this track has been landing hard. ‘Happy New Year’ charts innocence slipping into disillusionment, with lyrics written under a self-imposed rule of just three syllables per line. It inspired Wolf Rents Bark, our album title for an age where politician-CEOs cosplay as ‘the guy next door,’ while extracting wealth at a pace. The band are releasing this festive protest song instead of creating more landfill Christmas-themed shit.”
