Portsmouth, England punk rockers Hallan hit back in a smashing fashion on “Orwell’s Idyllic Future” the recently shared single from their upcoming debut EP Reporting Live From The Living Room Floor, due out via Nice Swan Records on July 16th.
The track follows the previous shared “Hands Up” and packs the same furious punch, in an epic, larger-than-life fashion. The punk rock sound features furious and in-your-face instrumentation and a furious vocal delivery that hits you in the throat right before in pours a beer right down it. The track combines the post punk prowess of fellow rising talents like Shame and The Murder Capital, while adding plenty of its own flavor as it chugs along.
Detailing the release, the group stated:
“With all sorts of wings be they left or right swinging for each other with mocking tweets or cancel culture as their weaponry, it’s easy to feel lost as an onlooking bystander in a world full of hostility. Relationships become strained and questioning your own mental stability becomes just another daily problem as you peruse through endless news articles, each one presenting you with a slice of self-loathing or existential dread. But nothing is to fear as the longer you stare upon the words you read in your Sunday newspaper or mobile device the more you will feel the sweet embrace and comfort of Big Brother’s gentle arms. Orwell’s Idyllic future has come to be, and everything is going to be just okay.”
