Hot Mulligan drop new song ‘And A Big Load’, announce new album

One of pop punks fastest rising acts Hot Mulligan is back with new music. Dropping the new that their new album ‘The Sound A Body Makes When It’s Still’ will release August 22nd they’ve also released the albums first single ‘And A Big Load’. With the sound that catchiness fans know to expect from Mulligan this is already shaping up to be one of the genres biggest releases of the year.

“And a Big Load” is a bold, punk-infused rager that sets the tone for what listeners can expect from The Sound a Body Makes When It’s Still. Fueled by angst and frustration about the positions we put ourselves in, the track is a cathartic, scream-in-your-car first offering. In classic Hot Mulligan fashion, the lyrics bluntly capture the difficulty of being painfully self-aware, as the band laments, “Nothing good can come of me, I’m useless.” 

“It’s the consequences of your own actions. You could face them; you could avoid them entirely,” shares co-vocalist and guitarist Chris Freeman. “Our biggest conflicts and struggles are often self inflicted. Drink too much? Hangover. What did you say last night? Apologize… or don’t. You could commit suicide instead. You could commit to being sober. You could commit to drinking one million beers. At the end of the day it’ll all be left for you to deal with. It’s terrifying.”

“‘The Sound a Body Makes When It’s Still’ is a lyric reference,” says co-vocalist Tade Sanville. “That lyric is in a song about paranoia, which is fear. With the album title, you can go the meditation route, or, the horror that you are in your body, and you have to exist. You have no choice, really. Even if you plan on killing yourself, right now you exist. And that is a terrifying thing.”
