Manchester five-piece
Martial Arts have shared
'Before The Fire', the latest cut to be lifted from their forthcoming debut EP.
Titled
'From The Burnoff', the record arrives via 5dB Records on 5th June across digital formats and limited edition vinyl. Helming production duties were Grammy-winning engineer Craig Silvey – whose previous credits take in Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys and Florence + The Machine – alongside Dani Bennett Spragg, known for her work with Sam Fender and English Teacher.
Lyrically, the EP weaves between introspection and broader political commentary.
Speaking about the new track, frontman and guitarist Jim Marson says: "It's a song about how the big dream became just owning a house, the pressure of scraping by and the quiet ever growing discomfort that comes with it, and the self‑awareness to admit we're still fortunate."A full UK headline run for the autumn is set to be revealed in late May, following two sold-out hometown and capital shows plus a slot at The Great Escape.
