Cult 80s Psych Punks Your Heterosexual Violence have released their new single, Love Will, that is a spiralling slice of The Cramps meets Buzzcocks power pop. A tongue-in-cheek litany sending up the Hallmark “love will conquer all” platitudes that can often permeate songwriting. The track is taken from their forthcoming full length, Some People Have Too Much To Say, that is set for release on the 26th September. Recorded at Press Play Studios in South London, the album a collection that feels both vintage and violently present, a fuzzy, swaggering patchwork of lo-fi psych, punk screeds, mutant disco and post-punk poetry. Released in collaboration with Trapped Animal Records via the imprints new sublabel, Unfriendly Dog Records, the album will be available on all formats, including traditional black and limited turquoise vinyl edition.

“I was listening to the radio and this terrible, slushy John Lennon song came on with pathetic lyrics like ‘Love is real, Love is living, Love is love’ and ‘Love is free’ and so on. I couldn’t be arsed to get off the couch to switch it off but it got me thinking about all those Love Will Conquer All/Power of Love type of songs, and suddenly, even though those records are usually the absolute pits, I was inspired to try and write one of my own. Remit 1 was that it had to reach new levels of absurdity, hence lines like ‘Love will stop the rain,  Love will keep us sane’ right up to ‘Love will end all wars’ by which time we’re kind of back to John Lennon again. Remit 2 was that it had to be a bit uplifting and full of energy rather than the dreary false emotion crap that one usually associates with songs of this nature.” (frontman Brian O’Brien)
