Public Opinion have announced details of their second studio album, The Curse Of Public Opinion.
Landing via SideOneDummy on August 7, the record is described in a press release as sounding ‘absolutely massive’ (which you can absolutely hear in opener Balloon Man Running below), while lyrically vocalist Kevin Hart is keeping things very real…
“A lot of bands make music about feeling bad but they’re so dialled-in,” Kevin explains. “I think our message is a little more messy, but a lot more human. At the end of the day I’m kind of a quiet, angry guy. I don’t explode, I implode. So when it comes to the songs I don’t try to stop all that from coming through.”

- Militarie Gun: “It’s important to be hopeful – the worst version of art is about a person that learns nothing”
- Drug Church: “Don’t look to a musician for secret knowledge – or even intelligent conversation half the time”
- Hot Mulligan: “We cut our teeth in basements… We’re doing pretty much the same thing now but really loud, and on a stage that’s slightly higher”
