Fightmilk Reveal Official Video For Thirsty New Single ‘Yearning and Pining’ Released 15th October via Fika Recordings + INH Records

DIY power pop quartet Fightmilk are back with a fourth and final single from their upcoming third album No Souvenirs, to be marked with a SOLD OUT headline show at London’s Paper Dress Vintage on 15th November 2024 with a run of November 2024 UK tour dates to follow on sale now (see below for listings).

‘Yearning And Pining’ is the latest track from the forthcoming album, and is out now on all good streaming services and digital service providers.

A riotous combination of riffage, pop hooks, angst, heartfelt emotions, wit, and wisdom crashed out with infectious, gleeful abandon, No Souvenirs is set for release on 15th November 2024 via Fika Recordings (Mammoth Penguins, Fortitude Valley) and new kids on the block INH Records.

Three years in the making, the 12-track album is available to pre-order now from: https://fightmilkisaband.bandcamp.com/album/no-souvenirs

Accompanied by an inventive DIY official music video shot entirely on a Ring doorbell camera, the new single is a tongue-in-cheek love song about the universal experience of having the hots for your crush; how awesomely painful it is being infatuated with someone, and how that unreciprocated lust can quickly lose its magic.

Commenting on the track, front woman Lily Rae says: “Yearning & Pining is a two-minute country-punk biscuit about having the cosmic horn for someone. Being so lusty that you give yourself an asthma attack. We've all been lost in the sauce of an all-encompassing crush, and this song is for those currently drowning in it.”

Recorded at Dean Street Studios in Soho, London over several manic weekends in 2022/23, No Souvenirs was produced by Keith TOTP, engineered by Sam Hogg and Tom Quigley, and mixed and mastered by Adrian Hall.

Spilling over with candid lyrics about death, doomed love, and dog bites, framed by endless punk energy and the kind of full-throated riff-rock that sounds just at home in a giant stadium as it does in a sticky-floored toilet bar, No Souvenirs is a triumphant return from the band, who are equally enthused by the album.

“It’s easily our best one yet,” says Lily of the record. “I want every track on it to be a Sunfly Karaoke song one day. It’s a big growly, grungy album with a healthy amount of yelling - but there’s lots of humour in it, too. Ideally it’s played very loudly with the bass turned up, three beers deep, and singing along to all the choruses.”

With international acclaim from the likes of STEREOGUM, Kerrang! Magazine, The Quietus, DIY Magazine, Brooklyn Vegan and The Line Of Best Fit already under their belts, and having sold out headline gigs across the UK, in addition to sharing stages with bands such as Art Brut, Yawners and Problem Patterns, Fightmilk look set to build on their reputation as one of the DIY scene’s best loved bands in the run-up to their much-anticipated third album.

New album ‘No Souvenirs’ will be released 15th November 2024 via Fika Recordings/INH Records
