Faintest Idea Announce New Album Details & Tour Dates

• 1st Feb 2016

Kicking around the streets of sea port market town Kings Lynn in one form or another since 2008, the rudeboy street punks of Faintest Idea have announced they will release their third album ‘Increasing The Minimum Rage’ via Manchester-based punk and ska label TNSrecords on 1st April 2016.

The band have also revealed a string of UK headline tour dates in support of the new album – full dates below. Fans can preorder the record now from the TNSrecords store in a variety of packages and bundles, including a limited edition pressing of 300 12″ vinyls available in pink (100) or translucent green (200), with the first 50 vinyl orders receiving an exclusive numbered screen print.

“The new record sounds heavier both musically and lyrically than our previous releases” comment the band “With free market capitalism still rampant things don’t look too great for the younger generation. The album is a reflection of the time we find ourselves in, it is the sound of people trying to keep hope in a seemingly bleak future.”
