We’re getting close to the April 9th release of Courting’s debut EP Grand National via Nice Swan Records. Courting is one of the rising stars of not just the U.K., but music at large, proving why time and time again, most recently with the EP’s first single “Popshop! “

The Liverpool-based four-piece have just released its chugging follow-up single and title track, one that the band describes as an “anti-anthem for a generation nobly stirred by the cruelty of horse racing and the gambling industry propping it up.”

It has all the energy that we have already come to expect from the band but also see’s them stretching it out to nearly four-minutes in what is their longest song to date, with a memorable breakdown and an outro that show this is a band that can both deliver an energetic barn-burning rocker, as well as hinting at what else they have in store for us sonically in the future.

Find the music video, which was directed by Kris Rimmer below, and a quote from frontman Sean Murphy-O’Neill who added this quote about the song:

Grand National’ is our best and last look at Middle England. Parents evenings, horse racing, and watching the chemtrails from lawns lined with astroturf. Cowbell-tinged. 100gecs referencing. Feedbacking. Huge.
