Today, Manchester punk newcomers Roko Mouth have dropped their new single and music video for ‘COLLECTIVE‘. The fierce new track is the band’s first release of the year and lyrically takes aim at the current political landscape, candidly expressing their feelings while promoting the vital importance of community amidst the escalating chaos and division. Watch the ‘COLLECTIVE’ music video here or click on the thumbnail below.
On the new single, the band comments:
“‘COLLECTIVE’ is about political burnout and the pressure to constantly pick a side, where every opinion feels demanded and neutrality itself becomes suspect. It captures the feeling of being buried in noise, opinions, and second-hand outrage, where even neutrality feels like a risk. The song moves between aggression and satire, staging a warped argument between two people who still call each other friends.
“‘Leave it up to the collective’ isn’t a solution; it’s exhaustion, avoidance, and a hope that someone else might still know what they’re doing.”
Roko Mouth thrive in a live environment, so there’s no better way to kick off their next chapter than with some shows. To celebrate the release of their new music, the band will be heading to London, Newport and Manchester for three intimate, riotous, high-energy headline shows. Tickets are on sale now.
