London, UK – London-via-Athens based punks Burnt Tapes have released their sophomore album ‘New Lungs’ out now Wiretap Records / Lockjaw Records and Nasty Cut Records. ‘New Lungs’ is Burnt Tapes at their most vulnerable, loud, and lyrically raw, leaning deeper into their gruff, melodic sound — blending heartbreak, bitterness, and introspection with cathartic choruses and downbeat honesty. This is a record about regret, resilience, and the heavy lifting it takes to move forward — one night, one fight, one breath at a time. Stream “New Lungs” here: Spotify Apple MusicBandcampYoutube “We started writing this album 3 years ago and it’s finally out in the world. It was a painful process at times…and inspirational at others. A labour of love & hate and everything in between. We hope you’ll find it strikes a balance between everything you’ve come to enjoy in a Burnt Tapes record, and so much more (with plenty of teeth references obvs).Can’t wait for you all to spin it.”Track Listing:1.
