HMRC’s latest offering is crafted with electrifying punk energy and hard-hitting instrumentals to explore the tale of ‘Frank Bruno’. Inspired by the life and times of the former boxer, the single encompasses a gladiator attitude backed by relentless vitality and strong drum work akin to the likes of IDLES and Bob Vylan.

The DIY Post-Punk quartet have grown out of the darkest corners of Newcastle Upon Tyne, boasting grizzly lyrics and ferocious fuzzy guitar licks to provide listeners with an anti-establishment commentary on the wasteland of modern life.
‘Frank Bruno’ is shameless in nature, propelled by unapologetic old-school guitar work that combines Post-Punk sentiments with raw and brutalist lyricism. The track wades through the swamp of the mainstream scene to provide an angsty yet impeccably-produced rollercoaster ride as instrumentals cathartically ebb and flow into a raucous soundscape.
Haunting at times, with cutting streams of consciousness lyrics, HMRC have crafted a song which confronts common societal fears, whilst standing as a powerful expression of their Post-Punk influences.
