Hot on the heels of their previous party anthem “Change Our Ways” London’s finest power punk rockers release brand new single “Pure Blood”
As the summer tans fade, the days grow colder, the hangover sets in, the dark night of the soul creeps up, a time for reflection? Perhaps?
Pure Blood is the not too often seen (nor heard) darkside of Barking Poets. Four and a half minutes of brooding, anxiety driven indie rock with the chorus crescendo of the year! Pure Blood sees Barking Poets venturing into the darkness, briefcase in hand, stumbling into the territory of bands like Brand New, Alkaline Trio and The Stranglers.
Once again produced by renowned U.K. rock/indie producer Paul Tipler (Idlewild, Placebo, Reuben) at Unit 13 studios in London during the summer of 2024.
“Pure Blood” is set for release via (Engineer Records) worldwide on all major streaming platforms on Friday October 3rd 2025. The official video was shot in Greenwich, London in September 2025 starring a mysterious disheveled masked crusader with briefcase in hand. Directed and edited by lead singer Neil Murray, it’s a Tarantino meets The Cohen Brothers special. A must see!
Catch Barking Poets live at the 02 Academy, Leicester on October 4th as part of the HRH Punk Festival along with many amazing acts.
