Penny Rich Announce Incendiary ‘On And On’ EP + ‘Fundamentals’ Video Out Now

Noise punk rock band Penny Rich, a three-piece from Cardiff, Wales, has announced their new EP, ‘On & On,’ is set to drop this September. Ahead of the EP and upcoming live dates, the group has released protest track ‘Fundamentals’.

Watch ‘Fundamentals’ (official music video): https://youtu.be/djuL9LDGjE0

'Fundamentals' explores the frustration and embarrassing nature of finding recourse in mainstream solutions to physical and mental health issues, solutions that have previously been prescribed - unsolicited or otherwise - by others unaffected by these issues, i.e. who have not had to suffer or agonise to 'get there'. It denotes the irrational feeling of injustice in the face of smugness by others at how this journey has unfolded, whether intentional or otherwise.

Since forming in 2018, Penny Rich has become synonymous with a raw, invigorating sound that blends the evocative vibes of early Sub-Pop with a contemporary twist. Known for their skin-prickling, abrasive music that stirs a blistering surge of excitement, the band has released several critically acclaimed singles and EPs, capturing audiences across Wales and the South-West. Their live performances, shared with bands like James and the Cold Gun, Death Cult Electric, and others, showcase their unrefined chaos and articulate a tension-filled rage that's always on the brink of collapse. If their music doesn’t unsettle you, then perhaps you’re missing something essential. Penny Rich's sound is intentionally incendiary, conveying deep emotions with a raw, explosive energy that’s both gripping and dizzyingly exhilarating.

‘On And On’ is a four-track EP noise de force that showcases Penny Rich's evolution and experimentation within the rock genre, pushing and bending boundaries. This new EP collection maintains the integrity that’s defined Penny Rich’s sound while boldly exploring ways to share their music with a wider audience. Recorded in late 2022 with long-time producer, collaborator, and friend of the band, Andrew Sanders, at Kings Road Studio in Cardiff, and later mastered by Kurtis Bagley of Luna Crown Audio (Holding Absence); 'On And On' captures the band's live intensity and dense dynamic soundscapes, further cementing their reputation as one of the most fearless acts in Cardiff’s rock scene.

EP Tracklist:

1. Fundamentals
2. On And On
3. Violent Glitch
4. Broken Mirror

To coincide with the EP release, Penny Rich will embark on a series of UK live dates, offering audiences a chance to experience the band’s energising and commanding live performances.

Live Dates:

17 Aug - SWANSEA, Elysium (w/ Monet)
23 Aug - CARDIFF, Tiny Rebel (w/ Tunic)
13 Sept - NEWPORT, Le Pub (w/ Tunic)
17 Sept - BRIGHTON, Crowley's Club
19 Sept - BRISTOL, Exchange (w/ Tunic & Death Goals)

Penny Rich is unabashedly assertive, self-assured, daring, and confrontational in an instant. The new EP eschews delicacy. This is imperative. This is purpose distilled to its purest form.

‘On And On' is released 27th September 2024 and will be available on all major digital platforms including Bandcamp.

Penny Rich is:

Anthony Birdseye - Guitar, vocals
Chris Hampson - Bass, vocals
Tobias O'Reilly - Drums
