Cologne, Germany based “brutal post-punks” TV CULT have today revealed their vitriolic new single ‘Overpressure’, set for release on 16th September 2025 via all good digital service providers.

The artwork for the single contains Palestine’s national flower, the Iris haynei, and is a cutting condemnation of the genocide in Gaza, throwing particular light on the injuries sustained by Palestinian children.

Commenting on the single, the band said: “This song began life after learning about blast overpressure injuries in Gazan children caused by the use of 500lb bombs. It then developed into something that expresses our pure anger and disgust at the treatment of all children in war zones.”

The song is the latest to be taken from their second album, Industry, which will be released later this year on 10th October 2025.

Industry will be available on 12” vinyl with 300 limited “Industry” grey copies and 200 black, with the band also today announcing that a portion of the proceeds from their autumn tour dates will be donated to the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund.

Preorders are live now from: https://www.flight13.com/tv-cult-industry-lp-vinyl/157651

The artwork for Industry features a photograph from world famous Köln based photographer Boris Becker’s ‘Konstruktionen’ series (http://www.boris-becker.com).

The track follows on from lead single ‘Communion’ which was released earlier this spring, earning a flurry of praise from underground music media including VISIONS Magazine and IDLES’ Adam “Dev” Devonshire on his Rinse FM show, Bruiser.

Second single ‘Crack The Whip’ is a bruising hardcore track with a dark electronic edge that echoes the rich diversity of the German alternative music scene that TV CULT call home—a politically charged slice of brutalism that shines a light on the lack of leadership and moral direction plaguing European governments.

Select German live dates for October/November 2025 are on sale now, including an album launch show at Bumann & Sohn, Cologne on 7th October 2025, with further UK/EU live dates TBA over the coming months (see below for listings).

On their forthcoming new album, TV CULT are set to chart darker waters than ever before, exploring themes including the decline of western culture and rejecting the belief systems that are presented to us.

Recorded by Christoph Scheidel at 79 Sound Studios in Cologne, the album was mixed at Holy Mountain Studios, London by Misha Hering (High Vis, Idles) and mastered by Brad Boatright (Off!, Sleep, Stranger Things OST) at Audiosiege, Portland.

The band are currently riding a wave of underground press frenzy in their home nation, and are now setting their sights on taking their brutalist approach to wider audiences in the UK.

TV CULT’s second album Industry will be released 10th October 2025
