“Taking a bold step has paid off; R.O.I. has taken Aerial Salad from plucky underdogs to genuine contenders.” Kerrang!
“This is an astounding leap forward from their debut and places them firmly on the Manchester music map.” Louder Than War
“An accomplished collection of crystal clear, anthemic, punk-infected rock.” Narc
Following on from last year’s acclaimed ‘R.O.I.’ album, Manchester’s favourite sons Aerial Salad are set to return to the fray with a brand new 5-track EP titled ‘Roi de l’herbe’, to be released June 27th on 12” vinyl and digital via Venn Records.
No longer in the same line of spirit destroying day job work, with some seriously exciting gigs on the horizon, Aerial Salad wanted to kick off the next era of the band with a short, fast and hard EP and have served up five absolute bangers that sit somewhere between 2020’s ‘Dirt Mall’ album and ‘R.O.I.’
Today, the band have previewed another cut from the forthcoming EP with new single ‘Wires’, which is, as singer and guitarist Jamie Munro explains, “an aggressive dismantling of modern work/life culture. As we head ever deeper into the digital abyss. I'd rather be on fire than have to spend my life looking at spreadsheets.
“’Wires’ is an outcry to anyone following something in life, he continues. “The most ‘punk’ movement of my youth was the grime movement. It was ALL DIY, and it absolutely dominated British culture - there's a lot of similarities between grime / punk/ hardcore. From the fashion to the beats. So, we thought we'd do a 50-pound music video 'on a nostalgic backdrop'. ‘Wires’ picks up from where ‘Telekon 5’ left - you can't keep drifting from what you believe in, and you can't be tied by matters beyond what's really important in life.”

“The EP is like the teaser for what’s next,” summarises Jamie. “The overall hook for this EP is one of hope, that by sticking to what you believe in you can do anything.”
