Burnt Tapes Release New Single and Launch Album Pre-Order

London indie-punks Burnt Tapes have released a new video single for 'Don't Make Me Play Bocelli'. The video gives a personal, behind-the-scenes insight into the band's recording process.

This is the second single from their eagerly-anticipated debut album 'Never Better', due for release on 22 February 2019 on Lockjaw Records (UK/EU) and Wiretap Records (US). 'Never Better' is now available to pre-order on clear 12'' vinyl and CD from Lockjaw Records.

Burnt Tapes are known for creating their own unique brand of melodic punk-rock: ‘regret punk’. Inspired by emotive heavy-hitters like Iron Chic, Hot Water Music and The Lawrence Arms, Burnt Tapes create stories through gruff vocals, layered melodies and tattoo-worthy lyrical twists.

Debut album ‘Never Better’ features 10 tracks of gripping melodic punk, loaded with hooks. The album showcases Burnt Tapes signature gruff dual vocals; exploring the themes of loss, love and self-doubt that Burnt Tapes have made their core. The album is loaded with memorable one-liners, evocative metaphors and lyrical nods to their previous releases.

“It's the first release that more closely represents who we want to be as a band, and I’m really excited to finally share it with everyone,” said vocalist/guitarist Phil Georgoulopoulos. “You can expect a lot more self-deprecation and regret.”

The album has been created in three variants: red, blue and clear 12’’ vinyl. You can order the album from Lockjaw Records on clear vinyl, CD and digital download. Pre-order bundles with hoodies and t-shirts are also available.
