AERIAL SALAD ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM ‘DIRT MALL’ RELEASED MARCH 27TH VIA
ROACH INDUSTRIES/PLASTERER
Armed with a headful of new
songs, under the guidance of Daddy Wonk and the production of UK recording
legend Paul Tipler
(“because he’d recorded ‘Mush’ by Leatherface,
which we love,”), Aerial Salad have delivered nine songs of anthemic, driving
punk rock that roars with disgust, yet equally joy, at the world around them.
Released this coming March 27th via the bands own Roach
Industries, and once again with the help of Plasterer, ‘Dirt Mall’ is the sound
of the once rag-tag teenagers finding their sound, feet and minds, frustrated
by day jobs, brexshit and the world swirling around them.
“It captures everything I’ve seen working as a temp in offices and generally
being in my twenties trying to work myself and the world out. With some pop
songs thrown in for fun,” admits Jamie, and it is all of that and more.
Bristling with energy and passion, each and every song means something. From
the charging title track (“people should not have to try and survive life,”),
the bass and drum groove and explosive chorus of ‘Such A Pity’ (“about being
young and a fucking arsehole,”), the cathartic strut of ‘Stressed’ (“the Tories
are basically trying to kill us, that’s the cut and dry,”) and first single
‘Romance?’ (“a song about wanting romance with someone who is otherwise
romantically engaged,”), ‘Dirt Mall’ is an album by three best mates,
experiencing this life together, and taking it on.
