Safe Word by ARSE
Safe Word is the new EP from Arse, proudly presented by Grupo and Erste Theke Tontraeger Records, direct from planet earth.
Recorded amidst one member's medical catastrophe, nationwide touring and utter global decay, the trio follow up their lauded debut with the next phase in punk rock evolution -- a crucial meditation on humankind's tendency to lean into a fucked situation rather than get itself out.
With no topic too hot, no stone unturned and no pooch left to screw, Arse are a band who thinks big, baby. Internal warfare, assured climate doom, the incurable ill of the male psyche, and a song exclusively about hating world leaders are all there to be discovered across these four burning mantras. Complete with live-wire guitars, sledgehammer rhythms and absolutely smouldering production from the band’s own Jonathan Boulet, Arse are truly a band on fucking fire.
Safe Word is available on all digital platforms from October 4. Limited edition 7” vinyl available through Grupo Records (AU) and Erste Theke Tontraeger (EU).
Recorded on the stolen land of the Cadigal-Wangal people of the Eora Nation. Sovereignty never ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.
