The British punk BAND HEARSE PILEUP IS making a very interesting release with “Realise”. they added two previous tracks released so we get a three-track EP made to attack the failings of democracy. They even made a video game to support the new single!
ORDER “REALISE” ON BANDCAMP NOW!
“After getting my start in the radical scene via the 2010 student protest movement, I started Hearse Pileup as a way to open minds. Hearse Pileup has a very simple goal – to point at a problem and invite the listener to think about it. I don’t like to prescribe solutions, but at least if we can all agree there’s something wrong, we can discuss what to do about it. In short, shit’s fucked – call it out!” Matt / Hearse Pileup
Hearse Pileup is a London, UK punk band which has been playing to rowdy crowds for many years. From a motorcycle chapter’s 25th anniversary, the final night of the occupied 12 Bar, or a dubiously legal squat party near you.
Now, after working hard on their release campaign, they are gifting us with a thought-provoking three-stack of songs. We will focus on the main single, “Realise”.
The song highlights that politics doesn’t and cannot happen only once every five years. It is a social critique against the futility of modern democracy, where two (or more) barely distinguishable major parties fail to give us much of a choice.
“Realise calls back to the moment of the bands inception as well as 2024 – the year with the most elections ever on record. Elections have a habit of failing the people, what do we do about that?” Matt / Hearse Pileup
Hearse Pileup beg the question: If the game is rigged, how do you win? A question that is answered after finishing the single’s own video game / music video, created by HP’s frontman, who happens to work as a programmer.
This concept is truly unique, nothing we have seen before. In the game you have to drive an actual hearse, as you collect cash and avoid obstacles while the single plays in the background, perfectly synced from start to end. You can play it right here: realise.hearsepileup.rip
Using this clever and interactive way to present their music, Hearse Pileup might be one of, if not the most interesting and creative Punk bands out there. So, play now!
“Expect an angry, snarly delivery. Fuzzed-out punk. And please, get angry yourself. Then do something about it.” Matt @HearsePileup
