Rising cross-genre punks Millie Manders And The ShutUp have announced their first-ever 7in single, and it’s a double-A side.
Angry Side /Can I Get Off? will be released on 5 April as the band prepare to set out on tour during April and May.
MMATSU are fresh from their recent Slam Dunk Winter Jam tour in January with Zebrahead, Teenage Bottle Rocket and [Spunge] .
The 7in will be accompanied by a range of new T-Shirts to help raise funds for Mercy Without Limits, a charity which provides education and support to orphans, women and families in need around the world.
Talking about the single, Millie said: “Angry Side is, I guess, a letter from my teenage self, apologising for being so angry and wanting to burn down the world. I had a lot going on back then and I hid behind bravado a lot.
“I suppose it’s also me telling my younger self that it’s OK to have been that angry when I went through a bunch of trauma that I couldn’t process well enough to deal with it all. I was a kid.
Pillaged
“The western world is privileged because it has pillaged resources from everyone else in the world. We need to unlearn what we know and recognise the suffering people are going through as a result of our greed.
“Can I Get Off? is an outpouring of my frustrations about that and, ultimately, the reason we are fundraising for Mercy Without Limits.”
7in single and T-Shirt bundles are available to pre-order now HERE. The band, known for their energetic live shows, will release their second album later this year. It is the follow-up to their acclaimed 2020 debut Telling Truths, Breaking Ties (reviewed here).
Tickets for the forthcoming tour, which features support from Voodoo Radio and All Ears Avow, are available HERE.
Millie Manders And The ShutUp are Millie Manders on vocals, guitar and alto sax, Joe Quigley on guitar, Georgina Boreham on bass, and Pete Wright on drums and samples.
