| PUNK ROCK FACTORY KEEP THE ‘90S POP-PUNK PARTY GOING WITH ‘BACK FOR GOOD’ LISTEN HERE FROM THE NEW ALBUM ‘ALL HANDS ON DECK’, OUT FEBRUARY 14TH – PRE-ORDER HERE PLAYING TO 30,000 FANS ON THEIR CURRENT HEADLINE TOUR – HITS LONDON ON NOVEMBER 15TH |
“The pop-punk cover band who became a viral sensation during lockdown have somehow gone from strength to strength, with legions of fans around the world, who have found an unlikely connection through punked-up versions of the themes to Pokémon, Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Red Dwarf.” – Kerrang!
After letting the fun begin with their pedal-to-the-metal take on B*Witched’s ‘C’est La Vie’, the party-hardy Punk Rock Factory now power towards the February 14th release of their new album ‘All Hands On Deck’ with their propulsive twist on Take That’s mega hit ‘Back For Good’. Listen HERE
The Punk Rock Factory’s mission is simple: just tell them the song and they’ll sing it… at about twice the speed and as if they’ve gone back in time to the Warped Tour. As such, ‘Back For Good’ sounds exactly like you’d hope it would – a bit like if Gary Barlow had been strapped to a Formula One car against his will and forced to finish the song before the lap was over.
Punk Rock Factory vocalist/guitarist Peej says, “How could we do an album full of ‘90s smash hits without tackling something by Barlow and the boys? They’ve written a tonne of absolutely perfect pop tracks, as well as a million love songs, but ‘Back For Good’ was our only desire!
This has ended up being one of our favourite tracks from ‘All Hands On Deck’, and we ended up shooting the video live at one of our favourite venues in the UK – Rock City in Nottingham! Which was definitely our idea of a very nice day out.”
The Welsh pop-punk heroes have become TikTok (750,000+ followers) and festival (Download, Bloodstock, Slam Dunk) sensations for their supersonic takes on family favourites like ‘Let It Go’, ‘Mamma Mia’ and ‘Thriller’. They called on their fans to vote for a selection of ‘90s firecrackers for ‘All Hands on Deck’ and have more than delivered on the results, translating classics of the era like ‘Gangsta’s Paradise’, ‘Bring It All Back’ and ‘Livin’ La Vida Loca’ into crowd-pleasing singalong punk anthems.
‘All Hands On Deck’ is available to pre-order HERE, with all manner of colourful and collectible vinyl versions up grabs.
‘All Hands On Deck’ opens with ‘Boom! Shake The Room’ which is exactly what has been happening on Punk Rock Factory’s current headline tour. Sticking to the covers, the Factory have been bringing the noise and the smash hits to packed venues each night, and will have played to 30,000 hyped fans before the tour is done. Several remaining shows are sold-out, and almost all of the others have just a handful of tickets left with show highlights including a big homecoming inCardiff and their largest London show so far at the Electric Brixton.
