Bath-based UK post-punk band Bureau De Change are delighted to announce that they have signed to much-loved UK independent bastion Alcopop! Records.

To celebrate the news, the band are today revealing their new single ‘The Gammon’s Lament’—released 25th June 2026 via all good digital service providers, the track is the first new material to be revealed from their forthcoming 2027 debut album.

A truly disturbing insight into the bleakness that is the 2020s recorded and produced at Nine Volt Leap in Melksham by Dominic Bailey-Clay (Knives) and mastered by Stephen Kerrison (DITZ, Petbrick, LIFE), ‘The Gammon’s Lament’ is a rage-fuelled outcry against the bourgeoisie, and their inclination to feast on anyone and everyone deemed “less than”.

“It’s a protest song, a rallying cry to action; to perceive, to look up rather than down,” says vocalist Flora Kimberley of the single. “Lyrically it’s an outpouring of grief, sorrow, and the realization that you’re nothing but a meal to those in power. In the current political climate, it feels easy to let yourself become a meal, to be consumed by the overwhelming dread of it all. This song is about biting back, for we are many and they are few.”

Fronted by seasoned vocalist Flora Kimberley (ex-Lambrini Girls), together with bandmates Will, Connor, and Louis the quartet have spent the past 2 years playing all over the UK and Europe alongside fast-rising hot property names like PINS, Dreamnails, Loose Articles, Mini Skirt, and Knives.

With an acerbic sound that truly stands out amongst the burgeoning UK post-punk scene, the band’s 2024 debut EP Are You Flirting With Me? was described by Joyzine as “four atonal anthems that combine blistering musicianship, pulpit polemic, time signature jumping and righteous fury”.

Their trashy, uninhibited post-punk-rock is propelled along by Kimberley’s cuttingly sarcastic sense of humour paired with unapologetically feminist and political messaging, viciously tackling and dismantling toxic masculinity, misogyny, and societal norms.

A string of searing standalone singles followed throughout 2025, including  ‘Resistance’, ‘Dumb Men’ and ‘Office Chair’, with latest release ‘Marriage’ seeing them tipped by French tastemakers MOWNO Magazine and signing to renowned French indie label A Tant Rêver Du Roi.

Fresh from official showcases at The Great Escape and Alternative Escape, the band are already booked to take their confrontational and increasingly notorious live show to Festival De La Mer, Sniester, Detonation and Burn It Down this summer, with further live dates TBA.
