Emerging Welsh trio Public Order deliver their eagerly-awaited new single 'Fear', out February 4th
LISTEN TO ‘FEAR’ HERE
Following up the release of their stunning breakthrough debut single ‘Feels Like Summer’ last year, which saw them being picked from virtual obscurity to be featured on the FIFA 2022 soundtrack, garnering 750k streams online, and supported by the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, BBC Radio Wales and BBC Introducing, emerging Welsh trio Public Order have now returned to deliver their eagerly-awaited follow up single ‘Fear’.
While ‘Feels Like Summer’ saw them tap into the nostalgic aura surrounding the early Britpop sound, ‘Fear’ focuses on the more rave-inspired elements of the same era to deliver a knock-out punch of blistering beats and gritty guitars. Filled with all the same ear-grabbing aesthetics and vibrant textures, these guys are certainly looking to make some noise in the year ahead.
Speaking about the new offering, they said, "I think fear for us was all about raising the question on how people’s social media followings affected your overall outlook of a person. Like it’s crazy that a number on a profile can change your behaviour around said person. It’s all about being wrapped up in that world, and sort of losing sight of reality really. Mad how a number defines you and your status. It’s like everyone’s ‘famous’ nowadays."
Emerging from Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales, Public Order have found themselves rekindling the spirit of what made the Madchester movement of the 90s such an iconic era in modern British music.
As close childhood friends, the trio spent much of their teenage years exploring a diverse array of musical interests. Citing early material from The Stone Roses and The Prodigy as influences, the group’s direction slowly morphed into a combination of two worlds; the dancefloor-filling rhythms of the electronic scene, and the bold and blistering sound of live guitars and drums, creating a sound that many have compared to the vibrant world of the Hacienda Nightclub in the 90s.
While their style is rooted in those hedonistic days of all night raves, they have begun to add a new flair and spin to their sound, delivering a raw yet upbeat texture that has grown over years of experimentation and adventurous musical pursuits.
