OUR HETEROSEXUAL VIOLENCE Reveal New Single ‘Love Will’

Last Updated: September 14, 2025By Tags:

Cult 80s psych/punks Your Heterosexual Violence are proud to return today with their new single ‘Love Will’, set for release on 9th September 2025 via all good digital service providers.

The track is the latest to be taken from their forthcoming new album Some People Have Too Much To Say, set for release on 26th September 2025, with the quintet also revealing the album tracklist and artwork today.

Recorded at Press Play Studios in South London, Some People Have Too Much To Say was produced by Andy Ramsay (Stereolab). The result is a collection that feels both vintage and violently present—a fuzzy, swaggering patchwork of lo-fi psych, punk screeds, mutant disco, and post-punk poetry.

Released in collaboration with Trapped Animal Records (The Baby Seals, Grrrl Gang, Jemma Freeman & The Cosmic Something) via their exciting new sublabel, Unfriendly Dog Records, the album will be available on all formats, including traditional black and limited turquoise vinyl edition.

New single ‘Love Will’ is a spiralling slice of The Cramps meets Buzzcocks power pop. A tongue-in-cheek litany sending up the Hallmark “love will conquer all” platitudes that can often permeate songwriting, the band describe the track as a celebration of a relationship built on rock ‘n’ roll, but say that at its heart it’s basically a piss take of John Lennon.

Front man Brian O’Brien explains: “I was listening to the radio and this terrible, slushy John Lennon song came on with pathetic lyrics like ‘Love is real, Love is living, Love is love’ and ‘Love is free’ and so on. I couldn’t be arsed to get off the couch to switch it off but it got me thinking about all those Love Will Conquer All/Power of Love type of songs, and suddenly, even though those records are usually the absolute pits, I was inspired to try and write one of my own.”

“Remit 1 was that it had to reach new levels of absurdity, hence lines like ‘Love will stop the rain,  Love will keep us sane’ right up to ‘Love will end all wars’ by which time we’re kind of back to John Lennon again. Remit 2 was that it had to be a bit uplifting and full of energy rather than the dreary false emotion crap that one usually associates with songs of this nature.”

Your Heterosexual Violence announced their resurrection in style earlier this summer with lead single ‘House Outside The World’—a radio-friendly slice of 21st century psych/punk philosophy that you can sing along and dance to, or maybe just have a listen with a cup of tea and contemplate the nature of existence.

The track picked up a swathe of praise from Mike Watt (Minutemen, The Stooges), Louder Than War, The Punk Site, John Kennedy at Radio XMickey Bradley (The Undertones) at BBC UlsterAmazing Radio, Total Rock, Resonance FM and more.

An album launch show is set for Sunday 5th October at The Lexington, London, with select UK live dates also on sale now (see below for listings).
