If Johnny Rotten's anger became his energy, Vile Assembly are using truth as their weapon of choice. The Liverpool band will release their storming new single 'Last Century Man' on Friday April 5; a blistering rallying cry against careerist politicians, corporate culture and the worldwide exploitation of those most vulnerable.

The single takes an uncompromising aim at politics, religion and the establishment through raw and infectious punk rock, this is Vile Assembly at their most vitriolic, but when these masters of their craft express themselves, their artistic and musical talents are always at the forefront. 'Last Century Man' is infectiously melodic with huge guitars and a great hook underpinning Mason's unique and stirring vocals.

Countercultre icon and vocalist with Dead Kennedys, Jello Biafra famously told us "don't hate the media, become the media" a mission that Paul Mason, songwriter and vocalist with Vile Assembly understands better than most - the band have formed their own vehicle for creativity in the form of Vial Entertainment, a means to disrupt the status quo and interrupt the flow of mass indoctrination with a searing honesty designed to energise and unite.

Around the release of the new single, the band will take their message to the live masses at a series of gigs across the North. ‘Last Century Man’ will receive an official launch with a hometown gig at Liverpool District coinciding with the date of its release (April 6), with the band also lining-up performances in May at Liverpool Sound City and Chesterfield May Day. In addition, Vile Assembly will also be making a very special appearance in Wigan to pay their respects to one of punk’s founding fathers as they play the Pete Shelley Memorial Statue gig.

Packed with dizzyingly rapid-fire vocals duels and tautly triggered key-changes, this new song from the rising High Wycombe five piece is drivingly frenetic and darkly funky in equal measure. Revamped with an invigorating lust for life and a refreshed zeal for their work, ‘Vice’ is a proud statement of intent from a band back-from-the-brink.

As Only Sun explain: “‘Vice’, everyone’s got one. Whether it’s your career, sport, music or anything else under the sun. It feels good to slip into routine, let the muscle memory take control, watch yourself at work and think "God, I’m good at this". This epitomises the feeling Only Sun have when they step out onto that stage. After some serious uncertainty about the band's future, ‘Vice’ truly speaks of the reuniting of the band's soul and infatuation. Allowing it to take over them in a moment of pure bliss.”

With a string of sold out shows to their name (including their upcoming date at London’s Thousand Island venue this month), Only Sun are rapidly making a name for themselves around the South-East. Fiercely dedicated to their art, the hard-working quintet ambitiously delivered 12 singles in 12 months last year without even breaking a sweat, simultaneously racking up over 1.6 million Spotify streams in the process.

Only Sun now look forward to a string of their own headline shows right around the corner, plus winning over audiences at major festivals including this year’s Liverpool Sound City. Bouncing on from their sold out London appearance earlier this month, fans in Bristol, Liverpool, Birmingham and Leeds can grab a piece of the action at the following dates and venues…
