Snapped Ankles release new single "Pay The Rent" and announce "GoFundTrees" fundraising campaign
Snapped Ankles have released "Pay The Rent' as the second track from their forthcoming new album, Hard Times Furious Dancing.
The GoFundTrees campaign, accompanying the new single, will allow fans and the general public the opportunity to understand the true cost of touring in 2025, as well as providing opportunities for them to donate funds to the band ahead of their upcoming tour. As part of the campaign fans can join an online HIIT session, go to a furious dance party in Epping Forest, purchase one of the band's infamous Ghillie Suits and also purchase exclusive merch.
This all ties in with the release of “Pay The Rent”, which takes a sideways look at how the global cost of living crisis is putting a squeeze on the arts – or “Dancing at the misery of the situation,” as Ankle Austin puts it. Set in Kent, they’re aiming their ire at the architects of Brexit, which has compounded issues, and made life as a touring band almost impossible to sustain.
Snapped Ankles embark on their biggest tour to date in spring 2025, including a show at Fabric in London on 15 May.
Hard Times Furious Dancing, is set for release on 28 March via The Leaf Label, and is available to pre-save now. GoFundTrees launches on 21 February. For more information, visit gofundtrees.co.uk.
