The Molotovs are already setting out their plan to dominate 2027 with the announcement of their new album ‘Welcome To Urbia’.

The record will be released on April 09 2027, via Marshall Records, and will serve as the follow-up to their debut ‘Wasted on Youth’, which dropped earlier this year and hit No.03 in the UK Albums Chart.

The band have also shared a first taste of what to expect in the form of ‘Urbia’, a shimmering piece of timeless Brit rock brimming with energy and exuberance. The best song that The Jam never wrote, if you will. It’s an extension of the sound and atmosphere that the duo have cultivated so brilliantly, and feels like an incredible jumping off point for their sophomore.

Matt Cartlidge had this to say about the track, stating, “When I wrote it, it just immediately felt like something different and was steering in the direction that I wanted to go for this next album. I really wanted to shake it up. My influences have also broadened the more we played. When we went into the studio, I’d only recently written it, so it was all pretty fresh – it’s got a real energy.”

Whilst Issey Cartlidge added: “It really blossoms. It’s quite moody and driving, quite industrial, and then you get to the chorus that kind of opens up. It’s sweet.”
