“We breached three laws while creating this track…” Australian ravers have just released their latest single, ‘Damaged Goods’, a pulsating, bass-driven piece of chaos designed to keep you dancing until dawn. Regarding the track, Confidence Man stated: “You have to crack a few eggs to make an omelette. We broke three laws while producing this song. Don’t label it an art crime.” This evening, the four-member group will debut the track at the sold-out Active Scenes takeover at The Cause club in London. Confidence Man is also set to launch their new EP, ‘Active Scenes Vol One’, on December 5th through Chaos / Polydor. This year, Confidence Man’s ‘Active Scenes’ events have rapidly sold out, inspired by the chaos of late-night sessions in Brisbane, along with the vibrant atmospheres of London, Ibiza, and Glastonbury. About the eagerly awaited EP, they remarked: “Put down your baby and grab your dancing shoes because we’ve got a surprise for you. Six slices of cake so sweet you’ll want to devour it all at once. “It’s turbo juice for your dance floor; it’s like an endless buffet you can enjoy repeatedly without breaking the bank. Thank us later or buy us a drink or something, much love conman xxxx.” The six-track EP includes two brand new original songs: today’s ‘Damaged Goods’ and the forthcoming ‘17’, along with a remix of their iconic ‘Don’t You Know I’m In A Band’ featuring French producer Sweely. Additionally, look out for Chris Lake’s remix of their hit, ‘gossip’, with JADE. Words: Kate Jeffrie Join us on WeAre8 as we delve into global cultural events.

      "The EP represents our effort to process the current condition of Britain, using a cartoonish perspective."

      Newcastle group Roses In December (previously known as Crux) is back with their new EP, ‘Divided and Conquered.’

      While the lead single ‘Inferno’ expresses outrage at a chaotic world, the accompanying EP ‘Divided and Conquered’ critiques the systems that allow it to burn. Bursting with intricate riffs, aggressive distortion, and strong vocals, this collection emphasizes the band’s anti-establishment stance.

      This 5-track EP is marked by provocative commentary and socio-political critiques, while also embracing a spontaneity that borders on the absurd, showcasing a band fully in control of their craft.

      Recorded at Blank Studios in Newcastle under the guidance of Sam Grant (Pigs x7), ‘Battleship Boomer’ offers a satirical take on migration policy through a warped board game, while ‘In The Channel of a Hate Crime’ erupts into chaos. Additionally, ‘Sharks’ masks tragedy within a lively, ocean-inspired anthem.

      The visual aspect is equally striking. Viz Comics cartoonist Lee Healey designed artwork featuring a wilting red rose, playfully referencing the Labour Party's diminished symbolism and Newcastle’s black-and-white legacy.

      “The country feels ridiculous… so we chose to sound ridiculous. You can either weep or mock it. We're doing both,” Roses In December states.

      Along with the EP launch, the band has released a short film. Check it out below.
