SOFT PLAY share video for their punchy comeback single ‘Punk’s Dead’
It also features a very familiar face…
SOFT PLAY have made their triumphant return with new single ‘Punk’s Dead’, following an unexpected hiatus of several years. They’ve spent the summer being welcomed back to the live circuit with a hometown show at Tunbridge Wells Forum and a headline appearance at 2000 Trees Festival, and will support The Prodigy this autumn for their upcoming UK tour.
‘Punk’s Dead’ serves as a punchy response to various comments made after the pair announced their name change from Slaves last year, showcasing their signature humour and energy via tongue-in-cheek lyrical jabs and a notable guest feature from none other than Robbie Williams.
The duo have also just shared a video to accompany the track, commenting on Twitter (X): “If you wanna see us getting weighed in by children, and Robbie Williams as a higher power, this one’s for you xxxx”. Check it out below:
