Social Haul first exploded onto the scene just three months ago, announcing their arrival with rip-roaring single “Wet Eyes”, followed by further incendiary songs “The Ease and “This Is All I Need” which quickly attracted a cult fanbase and was the first taste of their upcoming debut album – which has just dropped today!
We were so excited by them, The band leader consists of Leigh Padley, AKA bassist from TRAAMS, Social Haul‘s track ‘This Is All I Need’ is out today and the album is soon to come – out June 11th!
Produced by Daniel Fox from Girl Band, the ten blistering hot tracks are a flurry of rapid riffs (only one song exceeds the 3 min mark!), sped up disco beats and frenetically shouted slogans. Each song is a collection of vignettes illustrated the drunken descent of a central character, broken by a existential crisis.
“‘Social Haul is a collection of songs to get to know us by. The album loosely depicts a protagonist challenging perceived negative aspects of character, particularly in others, attacking in stages or episodes. Not dissimilar to that unfinished Bruce Lee movie.
Including bouts with ignorance, through to rebellion, disassociating, spiritual bypassing, indifference and eventually light-enlightenment. ‘Social Haul’ centres around the middle distance, the place in which we realise that no matter how insignificant or excluded we may feel, we all have something worthwhile to say”.
