Queer punk collective Dream Nails have today announced their highly anticipated second album, and shared its lead single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good Guy is the first taste of Doom Loop<\/em>, which has been three years in the making, and will be released by indie label Marshall Records on 13 October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It sees the band shine a light on toxic masculinity, which they say is not just about a few rotten apples, but the \u201cwhole damn tree\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doom Loop<\/em> is the follow-up to Dream Nails’ acclaimed self-titled debut album (reviewed here<\/a><\/strong>). It’s their first with singer Ishmael Kirby on the mic, after he replaced original vocalist Janey Starling in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDoom Loop<\/em> is an exploration of the repeated cycles we find ourselves in,\u201d says Kirby, \u201cfrom political injustice and patriarchal systems to the negative spirals of our minds.<\/p>\n\n\n

“A doom loop is a crisis that starts to feed on itself. It feels like there is no escape. But there is. This album is a reflection of ourselves, the world we live in, and the one we want to create.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drummer Lucy Katz adds: \u201cSpecifically, Doom Loop<\/em> delves into masculinity in its many forms. The good guy, the lads at school, the narcissistic politician, the incel, the sexual predator, the police officer. It looks into gender-based oppression from childhood; how isolation can breed violence against women and the rhetoric that spawns incels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

False security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Good Guy<\/em> highlights the phrase being used to lull people into a false sense of security. \u201cIt\u2019s as if we couldn\u2019t possibly believe there could be danger if someone describes themselves as the good guy,\u201d says Ishmael. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt reinforces that gender-based violence and attacks are one-off occurrences, denying our lived experiences as women and non-binary people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
