After more than three decades in the cultural wilderness, cult South East London Psych Punk outfit Your Heterosexual Violence are back. Not with a whisper, but a full-throated, fuzzed-out, organ-infused scream of defiance. Their new album, Some People Have Too Much To Say, is out today via Trapped Animal Record‘s fresh new offshoot, Ferocious Doge Records. The album is a triumphant, sardonic and gloriously unhinged return from a band whose name once inspired terror in venue bookers and intrigue in punk fanzines from Deptford to Düsseldorf. Some People Have Too Much To Say is a writhing, swaggering beast of a record which speaks to the modern condition: a world full of hot takes, unfiltered feeds, and the permanently online. And yet, there’s no preachy social commentary here, only sardonic poetry, wit, and a thick fog of distortion. The album captures the band’s skewed take on modern Britain: surveillance capitalism, toxic nostalgia, and violent banalities, but often with a wink and a grin.

Originally formed in Woolwich in 1982 at the chaotic intersection of Punk, Post-Punk, and political theatre, Your Heterosexual Violence‘s early years were marked by an uncompromising DIY ethos, manic performances, and a volatile sound that veered between Buzzcocks-style Punk fizz and cosmic Jazz meltdowns, sometimes within the same track. Your Heterosexual Violence were never just a footnote in musical history though; they were an asterisk with attitude; a To Be Continued… that refused to fade away. Now, in 2025, they’re sharper, stranger, and somehow more vital than ever. After years away from the stage, and the very idea of being a band, Your Heterosexual Violence reformed just before the pandemic, with David Dodd, Brian O’Brien and drummer Andi Panayi remaining fast friends during the band’s wilderness years. With the three original core members returning to the fold, the band brought in new lifeblood in avant-glam maverick Jem Freeman on bass and vocals, and keyboard sorcerer Simon Birch.

“It’s even more intense and urgent now because we know that, by the laws of averages, it’s not going to be all that long until at least one of us dies or becomes incapacitated. Back in the old punk days they’d be saying how you can feel the urgency sifting through the groove because these guys know that this is their one shot of avoiding a life on the factory floor. Our sense of urgency is bigger than that. Ours is like, ‘we’ve got to get this done before we die’, and that may not be long. We always felt that we’d come along as some kind of party crashers. We were outsiders. We didn’t seem to belong or make connections. We disintegrated for no good reason. Over the years that followed, we had this ever-growing sense of frustration about our unfinished and untold story. It absolutely vexed me, that’s for sure. I kept on thinking about how bloody great our band was and I knew that we were more than capable of making a truly stunning album, even just with the old songs, never mind the new songs that we were about to start working on.” (frontman Brian O’Brien)

To mark the release, Your Heterosexual Violence will play a string of select UK dates, including a special matinee album launch show at London’s The Lexington on the 5th October with The Baby Seals and Breakup Haircut. Whether you caught them in a squatted Woolwich Arts Centre in ’84, or you’re just discovering them via a TikTok edit of their new single, Your Heterosexual Violence remain a glorious anomaly; part Punk happening, part Psychedelic freakout, and entirely uncompromising.
