THE MURDER CAPITAL DON'T CLING TO LIFE

Arriving in just over a month's time is When I Have Fears, the hotly-tipped debut album from promising post-punk purveyors The Murder Capital. The band's third single 'Don't Cling To Life' is another intense concoction of quick-fire drumming, brooding bass and wiry guitar work. Cutting through the chaos, James McGovern's emotionally-weighty lyrics beckon a response with their increasing demands to embrace the afterlife. Paired with a poignant video directed by Ethan Barrett and Tom Gullam, The Murder Capital are continuing on an upward trajectory that mustn't be overlooked. -Holly Mullineaux
