RELEASED MARCH 27th Interrobang is the band fronted by Dunstan Bruce, formally of Chumbawamba.Like Chumbawamba, Interrobang have a policy of creating performances rather than gigs, and each release is completely different to the previous one. Fusing breakbeats, punk rock, loop addled guitars and vocal rants, this album is a magnificent follow up to 2018's self titled debut. Rethink Everything is released on Pink Vinyl and CD Digipack INTERROBANG: RETHINK EVERYTHING No nostalgia. No silence. No joyless protest. We make music to move bodies and shift ideas because if you can’t dance to it, it’s not our revolution.It’s taken them ten years but here they are with their new album Rethink Everything. Interrobang haven’t just made a new record they’ve basically rewired the engine and fundamentally rethought how urgency sounds.This record marks a decisive move away from their previous guitar-led confrontational sound. It’s a reinvention of sorts toward something more rhythmic and propulsive. At the heart of that shift is Griff, whose full embrace of synths, samplers, loops and electronic production has reshaped Interrobang into something groovier, more unmistakably dance-driven. Against this new backdrop, Dunstan Bruce delivers lyrics that remain as uncompromising as ever. For Bruce, the album remains a restless interrogation of identity, relevance and responsibility. Once positioned at the sharp edge of cultural agitation, he now writes from within contradiction: angry but reflective, politicised yet self-critical, painfully aware of both his own history and his own limits. Lyrics oscillate between manifesto, confession and dark humour, delivered not as lectures, but as challenges. The shift in sound doesn’t soften the message; it sharpens it. The album captures a moment of personal, political and cultural emergency. Together, Bruce and Griff reject the idea that political music must be po-faced, worthy or joyless. Pleasure becomes fuel here. This is music that understands that urgency doesn’t have to shout. It’s insistent yet alluring. Rhythm becomes rhetoric and the dancefloor becomes a place of resistance, connection and rejuvenation. The philosophy underpinning the album is simple and unapologetic: if you can’t dance to it, it’s not our revolution. The album repeatedly returns to the idea that revolution is not a single moment but a process. Art is framed not as commentary but as action; creativity as a tool to agitate, advocate and amplify. Speaking out has a cost, the record acknowledges but silence will cost us more. Throughout, there is an insistence that trying still matters and that effort itself is a form of resistance. There is rage here, but also humility, humour and a refusal to disengage, a refusal to surrender pleasure as collateral damage and a defiant refusal to go quietly. Tracklisting: 1.
