Harker “Out The Window”

One of UK’s most exciting punk outfits, Harker, is coming back with another killer single—“Out The Window.” Screaming out persistent existential angst of climate crisis and the despair of a generation left to deal with this pressing problem, “Out The Window” is the cry to arms that we all been waiting for: exactly how long are we going to ignore this?

Furious but thought-provoking. Harker doesn’t have to dive too deep for “Out The Window” to come out—it’s in all of us, screaming in the back of our heads. It’s pressing on our shoulders, burned into our mind’s eyes. And today, hearing them, putting these frustration and prolonged despair into the sonics, crafting the shapes and tastes of soundscapes and lyrics to be palpable—it’s cathartic and needed to be heard.

Harker delivers with finger-licking power-pop riffs that evoke the undying iconic phantoms from the ‘90s, but not without a progressive, edgy grunge roughness that weaved together with the rawest punk aesthetic. They are the kind of band that makes you nod and say, “that’s really something.”

Punk can’t exist without angst, but the angst always comes from heart, punching a way out of the current mud state. The band have confirmed that they are releasing four new singles this year. “Out The Window” marks the second out of four, so stay tuned!
