Manchester punk band HUNGRY have returned with their new track, ‘Cambridge Is On Fire’. Their sound is frequently off-kilter, with rigid drums and bass underpinning exploratory, often dissonant guitar lines. Jacob Peck’s lyrics and vocal performance take the track from its intentional pastiche origins into a punchy piece of modern post-punk. On the track, they say: “The vast, desolate expanse of the fens, formed through profit-driven intervention, mirrors the cultural landscape we exist in, which struggles to thrive and breathe under cuts and times of national hardship. We’re looking to investigate the idea of the English nation and its role in mutual assistance and what we choose to celebrate as ‘England’.” The band released their exceptional debut EP, Are You The Best Yet?, last year.
