London cosmic punk rock quartet WACO are pleased to announce their return with a brand new single set for release on 27th April 2020 via Venn Records (Gold Key, Nervus, Marmozets and many more), the independent record label owned by UK punks Gallows.

The new single is called ‘Good Days’ and all proceeds from the track will go towards NHS Charities Together to support the National Health Service through the COVID-19 crisis and beyond.

Due to the new social-isolation and lockdown measures affecting an increasing percentage of the world, WACO are calling on fans of the band and the general public to be involved in the official video for the song, which will be made from any home footage contributions they receive.

Produced by Steve Sears Jr at Monolith Studios, London, you can share, listen, and sing along to a private stream of the unreleased new single and read the lyrics here: https://soundcloud.com/wacoband/good-days-private-link/s-vKy7AQBZhfN

Commenting on the idea, the band say: “The video will be made up of us all performing in our homes together, a bit like that old Feeder video. We need your entries back this week (or as soon as realistically possible). Thanks a lot you beautiful people!”

Contact the band on: contactwaco@gmail.com to submit your videos.

WACO shared the following guidelines for submissions:

The weirder the better.
Have a fucking great time, be creative, be yourself, make it unique.
No coronavirus-related banter/masks/toilet roll/washing hands etc. (other fun masks are okay though!)
You can film it yourself with your phone VERTICALLY. (I know it sounds weird, but please film vertically.)
Housemates/pets are welcome too.
Please sing the lyrics to the camera where you can.
In the instrumental parts mosh/headbang/dance if you'd like.
Stay woke.

About

Originating from the weirder nooks of the UK (North Yorkshire, Jersey and Teesside), WACO came together through their animalistic compulsion to make noise and their shared goal to brainwash the masses with their relentless optimism. Their previously released EPs Deathless (2017), Uprise (2016) and Sundown (2015) were also released on Venn Records.

The quartet’s music boldly and joyfully melds a spread of ‘70s classic rock influences with punk, prog, psych and more, perfectly framing frontman Jak Hutchcraft's raw, northern storytelling, packed full of gritty realism, honesty and good vibes.

WACO’s debut album Human Magic was released on Standby Records in November 2019 and featured the sorcery of their late bassist, Chris, who tragically passed away at the end of 2018. The record was written as a form of therapy to help the band cope with their loss. They are now joined by old friend James on bass guitar, who plays on forthcoming new single ‘Good Days’ and all future material.

The band have toured with Juliette Lewis & The Licks and appeared at Reading Festival, 2000 Trees, and more, with previous press coverage from LOUDER, Kerrang! Magazine, UPSET Magazine, and Punktastic, alongside radio support from BBC Radio One DJs Zane Lowe, Huw Stephens, Phil Taggart and Dan P Carter, and Planet Rock Radio.
