Londons melodic punk outfit Burnt Tapes have released their most powerful and emotionally charged record to date: ‘New Lungs’ is a cathartic journey through mental health struggles, lost connections, and the desperate hope for renewal.

The band took a more collaborative, experimental approach to writing this time, building tracks piece by piece and capturing the visceral energy of their live shows.

Sonically, ‘New Lungs’ builds on the grit and heart of 2019s ‘Never Better’, but cranks up the intensity. Think big, anthemic sing-alongs, driving guitars, and a heavier edge, without losing the melodic honesty fans have come to love. Thematically, the record deals with the toll of depression, anxiety, broken relationships, and the disorienting struggle of trying to move forward while feeling stuck in the past.

This album nearly killed us to make, the band admits, but it feels like the closure we needed. Its us working through everythingthe burnout, the self-doubt, the weight of the last few years.

With standout tracks like ‘MOTHERSGUILT’, ‘New Lungs’, ‘You Only YOLO Once’, and ‘Graveyards’, the album delivers both punch and poignancy perfect for fans of Hot Mulligan,The Menzingers, and Heart Attack Man.
