The Bar Stool Preachers have released two new tracks.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The\nBrighton ska-punk five-piece reacted to the lockdown prompted by the\ncoronavirus pandemic by reworking two new songs which were being\nprepared for their third album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When The World Ends<\/strong> and State Of Emergency<\/strong> were performed on their recent UK tour, but their lyrics have been rewritten to reflect their thoughts and feelings for what we are all experiencing right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\ncalled in favours, managed to get in the studio just a few days\nbefore the lockdown went into effect in the UK, and banged out these\namazing tracks. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engineered by folk-punk wonder Jake Rousham (The Levellers) and the lads themselves, they have produced some of the realest and best sounding punk\/rock\u2019n\u2019roll of the last decade, whilst being fun, current, and politically scathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Knowing that people are always going to need positive, strong music, especially in shit times, they made the songs free to download at their website HERE<\/a><\/strong> as the Soundtrack To Your Apocalypse EP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a donate button for anyone with a few quid to spare to make donations for the tracks, from which they will donate to healthcare workers and their families in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So\nas well as providing fans with anthems to see them through this\nincredibly difficult time, they are raising money for the underfunded\nNHS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuing\ntheir ethos of inclusivity, BSP then set out to make the most topical\nvideo possible, and nearly 1,000 fans submitted clips for the first\nof the two singles. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editing was done at lightning speed, with the clips made into a video for the track When The World Ends<\/strong>. They show the band, friends,and fans, in their quarantined environments, singing along to TJ\u2019s topical and uplifting lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
