More about: Working Men's Club

It only feels like yesterday that Working Men's Club released their self-titled debut album. But two years of pandemic life later, the band are back to announce their 2nd offering Fear Fear with the new single ‘Widow’.

Staying within their 80s synth rock influence, as always they’re sounds from bands hailing from their Yorkshire home like The Human League, New Order, Pulp and Soft Cell. But ‘Widow’ suggests something darker, like the soundtrack for Black Mirror’s Bandersnatch or some other weird techy old-school psycho-thriller. 

It makes a lot of sense. Having written the first album at 16, Working Men’s Club have come of age as people and as a band in strange times, with all their success thus far taking place within a dark couple of years. But from the sounds of ‘Widow’, we’re sure Fear Fear will open up bigger and brighter doors for the band.
