Demob Happy return with strutting new single ‘Who Should I Say Is Calling?’
It’s their first release in nearly two years…

Swaggering back onto the scene in style, Demob Happy have just dropped ‘Who Should I Say Is Calling?’ - an attitude-filled earworm that acts as a follow up to their 2023 LP ‘Divine Machines’.
Recorded in Joshua Tree’s Rancho De La Luna studio with Dave Catching (Queens Of The Stone Age, Eagles Of Death Metal), the single has arrived via Demob’s own label - Milk Parlour Records - and stands as their first release in nearly two years.
Of the track (which press materials promise is the first taste of more new music to come), frontman Matthew Marcantonio has noted: “It’s a conversation between me and myself; all the parts I sought to destroy - the roguish energy I thought was doing me no good. But it argued back, saying you need a bit of that to write rock and roll - so it’s an ode to both.”
Revisit our 2023 feature with Demob around ‘Divine Machines’ and hear ‘Who Should I Say Is Calling?’ for yourself below.
