Pure Noise Records will soon release Above the Static, a new album from Brighton, UK punk back The Bar Stool Preachers.
Featuring 12 songs, including new single "All Turned Blue," the album was recorded in April 2021 with Ben Hannah.
“We went in there with the idea of getting demos” Tom McFaull says of its coming together. “We took a recording desk and everything we could fit in the car with us because we wanted to mess around and dial in a sound. But as soon as we recorded that first song, Ben and I just looked at each other and went ‘This sounds massive enough to be the real thing.’ We were there for about two-and-a-half weeks in total. The pub was closed because of Covid, so it was just us and Fletch (the owner). We’d go to bed for a few hours, wake up, the first person up would put the coffee on and press play on whatever we’d recorded the night before. We just lived it fully. We couldn’t re-record this album if we tried.”
The band will be touring the UK in April in support.
