Club Brat are a high intensity clash of Punk and Noise Pop that defy traditional labels with their blend of jagged guitars, bass-heavy dissonance and volatile rhythmic urgency. Originally from Peterborough, UK and now split between Bristol and London, the five-piece formed in 2023 and quickly earned a reputation for unpredictable live shows and a relentless DIY ethos, while still working with some of underground music’s most respected engineers. Their upcoming EP, 4 Songs, that was recorded at HUMM Studios with Dom Mitchison and Archie Jones and was mastered by Bob Weston (Shellac), is a clear nod to the Steve Albini school of stark, unvarnished production. But the EP isn’t political in content, it’s political in form: concise, deliberate and unapologetically direct. Yet Club Brat resists comfortable interpretation. Their songs provoke, not preach, inviting listeners to draw their own conclusions and turning each encounter into something personal and open-ended. Following on from their Goodbye Pop Culture single released last month, Club Brat have revealed another track from the EP. Perfectly compressing the bands discordant, uninhabited sound, 25 Cameras is wiry, jagged and deliberately feral.  

“With ‘25 Cameras’, we wanted to capture the feeling of being constantly watched – the claustrophobia, the urgency, the tension that never lets up. It channels the nervous system of Gang of Four through the brute force of METZ. At its heart, it’s a hymn to media culture – restless, uneasy, and impossible to ignore. It’s about scrutiny – about being watched and inspected. Whether it speaks to an individual, a collective, or an authority. It is left open to the listener.”
