6th November 2023 0 By Jon Deaux

Formed in Tunbridge Wells in August of 2021, the sound of Animal Shithouse is a seething, intense barrage of spikey and jagged post-punk ferocity. Having spent the last two years blowing people’s heads off with their sharp sound and intense live show, the band have now set free a further blast from their forthcoming EP in the new single ‘Downing A Red Stripe And Punching An Old Lady Called Penny.’

Culled from their forthcoming EP ‘Who Taught You To Hate?’, due for release December 1^st via Lockjaw Records, ‘Red Stripe…’ comes out of the traps with a stuttering, jarring guitar riff before the band pile in, screaming and wailing and unleashing every bit of pent-up frustration and energy within them.

“Red Stripe is an invitation to unadulterated, violent angst,” explains frontman BM Martin. “A story of finding a scapegoat for anger and tackling one’s own incapability to cope in an ever-shrinking and frustratingly changing world. As light-hearted and darkly comedic as Shithouse’s more traditional explorations with punk, paired with a genuinely wrenching mean-spiritedness.”
