Demob Happy release new single ‘Autoportrait’
The garage-rock trio share the anthemic new song.

Brighton-via-Newcastle three-piece Demob Happy have returned with brand new track ‘Autoportrait’, and, not gonna lie, it’s a bit of a banger.
Thrashing and fantastic, the new song is an infectious earworm that’ll have you head banging along within its opening riffs. “I had the title before I’d written a word,” frontman Matt Marcantonio says, “but it forced my hand into writing something more honest than I ever would, like coercing a confession out of myself over insecurities I’d rather deny”.
Alongside the song, the group have also announced a bloody huge tour including shows with Royal Blood and Band of Skulls. Check it all out below!
