At The Fest in Gainesville, Florida, in 2016, Jamie Munro and Mike Wimbleton asked the organiser if they could play. His reply: start a band first. They did, came back the next year, and fell apart onstage on borrowed gear. That humbling night became their making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 debut 'Dirt Mall' fused Leatherface, Green Day, Oasis and US underground punk into a thrilling rush. 2024's ROI distilled from a lockdown flood of songs, put paid to any second-album syndrome, and also introduced new drummer Jake Marshall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird album Ideal World is their finest yet. Dynamically and lyrically razor-sharp, it's a clear-eyed look at a divided, misinformed, phone-addled UK. Munro credits learning The Smiths' 'The Headmaster Ritual' with opening up a new chapter, and Marr-like shimmer runs throughout the record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpener 'Let's Change Our Lives' is the band's anthem, a tribute to finding confidence through music after being told they'd never amount to anything. 'Survive If I Let Ye' takes aim at the British right and 'Live Laugh Love' culture; 'This Year' skewers doomscrolling; 'From The Same Cloth' finds peace in being yourself; 'Ythere' watches fascism wash up on our shores, and asks how we gave in so fast; and keyboard-led 'Devil At A Loss' reveals a crooner somewhere between Morrissey and Nick Cave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Our band's aspirational,\" says Munro, \"driven by frustration, trying to make things right.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VENN RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Green with Blue Splatter Vinyl","offer_id":57518569030010,"sku":"BRR-15948","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0363\/6517\/2868\/files\/CAR_20261104_1200_120111_380_p_download_20261104120034_1_001.jpg?v=1793795452","url":"https:\/\/www.boilerroomrecords.co.uk\/products\/aerial-salad-ideal-world-vinyl-lp","provider":"Boiler Room Records - 27 High St","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
