Norwich band OTHER HALF have unleashed their new record ‘Sameness Without End’. Tackling the issue men trying to outdo one another, the subject matter can also reflect modern ways of leaders in power who use the same methods on a political scale. Backed by riotous punk instrumentation, the track speeds like a race car on the track with the production being full of punch. ‘Sameness Without End’ is taken from OTHER HALF’s upcoming LP Big Twenty, out August 21st on Venn Records.

OTHER HALF have also released a video to coincide with the single. Filmed at Sick Room studios, the visuals feature an energetic performance by the group which appropriately matches the sound.

Regarding the track, Cal Hudson mentioned:

“I think out of the three singles this one ticks all the Other Half boxes, cramming a lot of what makes us, us, into 3 and a half minutes. It’s got frenetic verses, an eye-rolling chorus sung by Sophie with some Speedo-style down-strokes, barked vocals about tanning beds, car hire fights and ecstasy and some fun noise making over Alfie’s best drumming on the record. It’s a nice departure, letting us flex our post-punk muscles a bit. The title is ripped from a Kurt Vonnegut book, so it’s also a chance for us to flex our literary muscles, y’know?

A lot of the lines have also picked up an eerie relevance with the current state of the world, so if the leaders of the free world are listening, please do as the song says and think about this whole thing globally: ‘For once display some common sense, don’t get bogged down in the mulch of morality. You’ve got to think about this whole thing globally.”
