Indie-punk outsiders The Lovely Eggs<\/strong> have today announced a new AA-side single ahead of a run of UK dates in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Death Grip Kids\/Memory Man<\/em> will be released on death grey vinyl on their own Egg Records on 25 October. Pre-orders are being taken now HERE<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The A-side features Death Grip Kids<\/em> from their latest album Eggsistentialism <\/em>(reviewed here<\/a><\/strong>), as well as one of the band\u2019s first ever songs, True Grit<\/em>, from 2005, which will not be available digitally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AA-side features Memory Man<\/em>, previously released as a digital single and also on the album, but not available on 7in vinyl until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Death Grip Kids<\/em> is The Lovely Eggs at their most punk rock. Kicking and screaming and stamping their way through three minutes of righteously pissed off fury.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cDeath Grip Kids<\/em> is about fighting for something you believe in and not giving up,\u201d explains drummer David Blackwell. \u201cWe\u2019ve spent the last six years fighting to save Lancaster Music Co-op – a non-profit making rehearsal rooms and recording studio in the centre of Lancaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We both hung out there as teenagers and formed bands. It was a melting pot of alternative subculture in the city, and when the council tried to evict us, it was worth fighting for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lancaster City Council issued the eviction order in 2018, but the Eggs rallied round and launched a campaign to save The Music Co-op. Support spread internationally, and councillors eventually agreed to quash the eviction, repair the building and give the Music Co-op a long-term lease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Co-op is a place where you can go to form any band you like, with no rules,\u201d added singer\/guitarist Holly Ross. \u201cIt\u2019s total freedom and we had to fight to protect that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
