Out now
Every part about this band and this tune is massively inspirational. Regardless of being an existential pop tune, partly impressed by the novel A Joyful Dying by Albert Camus. Made by a bunch of ‘dour OAP punks’ who shaped the band in 1982, giving themselves a really 2020’s identify, they’re the antidote to shallow middle-class careerist pop – I provide you with, your new favorite ‘legendary band who few have truly heard of’, Your Heterosexual Violence.
When what used to excite you doesn’t / Such as you’ve used up all of your allowance of experiences... however, in case you are fortunate, a hidden gem that you simply by no means knew existed, will seem and you’ll regain that pleasure, that pleasure, that spark.
Artwork and music shouldn’t be in regards to the unattainable, the fantasy-life, the ideas of the privileged…
I got here throughout this video by probability and it took the primary 15 seconds to persuade me it was completely sensible. In a world of excessive definition, gloss, AI-enhanced perfection, that is what is required!
A psychedelic punk machine with occasional sojourns into melodic pop. Influenced by everybody, copying nobody. Your Heterosexual Violence is illiberal of intolerance and as such isn’t for these of a racist or sexist or homophobic bent.
Clocking in at beneath 3 minutes, ‘Home Outdoors the World’ is a radio-friendly slice of twenty first century psych/punk philosophy that you could sing alongside and dance to…or possibly simply have a hear with a cup of tea and ponder the character of existence.
I seen Jemma Freeman within the video and contacted them instantly. They informed me they cherished working with the band after they had been tempted out of a decades-long hibernation. Right here’s their story briefly:
Shaped in Woolwich, South East London in 1982, Your Heterosexual Violence (or just The Violence) constructed a cult following on the again of ferocious reside exhibits and assist slots with punk and indie legends together with Poison Women, The June Brides, Different TV, The Three Johns, Tv Personalities, The Nightingales, and appeared on the Talk!!! Reside at Thames Poly compilation in 1986.
After imploding in 1988, the band lay dormant till reforming simply earlier than the pandemic. Now, with a revitalised line-up that includes Simon Birch on Hammond and the addition of glam-punk powerhouse Jemma Freeman on bass and vocals, the band have discovered recent momentum and are able to launch their most formidable and anticipated document up to now…
The album Some Individuals Have Too A lot to Say, is about for launch on 26 September 2025. Launched in collaboration with Trapped Animal Data (The Child Seals, Grrrl Gang, Jemma Freeman & The Cosmic One thing) by way of their thrilling new sublabel, Ferocious Doge Data, the album can be obtainable on all codecs, together with conventional black and a restricted turquoise vinyl version.

David Dodd – Guitars (he/him)

Simon Birch – Hammond Organ/Fender Rhodes (he/him)
Jemma Freeman – Bass & Vocals (they/them)
The band identify is so completely up to date sounding it’s astonishing to assume that they coined it within the early Eighties. I requested Brian about it:
Yeah, we had been simply looking out round for a reputation for the band and felt like all the very best names had already gone after which abruptly Dave our guitarist simply abruptly comes up with ‘I do know, Your Heterosexual Violence’ and err this was again in 1982 and it form of shocked me for a second, and I believed yeah there’s an amazing identify, that’s a really in your face identify, individuals received’t overlook that and err it’s simply appeared to tackle an increasing number of resonance as time has passed by, you already know? The place individuals used to say to us again within the Eighties ‘woooah what are you referred to as that for?’ Now individuals simply say ‘wow nice identify’ and certainly it’s I feel.
If the album is a fraction nearly as good as this primary single, it’s gonna be a cracker. Nicely well worth the forty-three 12 months wait.
Why the delay Brian?
“Nicely, it’s an extended story…”
Which I’ll save for an additional day. Within the meantime, take heed to this once more.
