released by TNSRecords in the UK and Jump Start Records in the US on 31 March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their first new album in seven years, it promises to be their usual mix of

\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t know Faintest Idea, they take the bouncing beat of 2 Tone and smash it over the head with fast, angry UK punk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hailing from Kings Lynn in Norfolk, they&#8217;re known for their incendiary live shows, where rabble-rousing lyrics shouted over layers of catchy brass and heavy boot-stomping beats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their songs are unapologetically political and personal, tackling issues of power, war, PTSD, climate change, economic inequality and the ongoing fight for a more equal world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first taste of the new album came in September with the release of lead single <em>Nose Dive<\/em>, featuring Riskee from Kent grime-punks Riskee &amp; the Ridicule singer on guest vocals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube

as big as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This was massively helped by the whole thing being mastered by the legendary Alan Douches (Against Me!, Bad Brains,
