Sweden's The Radio Dept. have shared "Swedish Guns", the new single from upcoming album Running Out Of Love.
The album is described as focusing on "life in Sweden in 2016 moving in the wrong direction: politically, intellectually, morally..." with "Swedish Guns" in particular taking aim at the nation's arms industry.
Running Out Of Love is out 21 October via Labrador, and follows 2010 LP Clinging To A Scheme.
Last year The Radio Dept. released a new EP titled Occupied, plus a single called "This Repeated Sodomy". One-off single "Death To Fascism" arrived in 2014.
