Teen punk quartet Noah and the Loners release their latest riotous new track, ‘Hell Of A Day’, out now on Marshall Records.
The band’s latest single follows the release of punk anthem ‘Protest Anger’ earlier this year – which saw support from the like of Steve Lamacq and Chris Hawkins of BBC Radio 6 – along with an explosive set at this years’ Rebellion Festival and supporting Buzzcocks.
‘Hell Of A Day’ was produced by acclaimed UK producer Neil Kennedy (Creeper, Milk Teeth, Boston Manor) and is a throat shredding battle cry for the perpetually frustrated, unlucky, and occasionally cursed – when everything in the world is against you and nothing seems to be going your way, for some clandestine reason or another, and you must pick yourself up and keep moving forward.
“The track is based on an actual day in my life where everything that could go wrong, did…” exclaims Frontman Noah Lonergan (he/him). “I got completely soaked watching my football team lose, and then a giant electrical storm wiped out the train line, so I couldn’t get home to Brighton for a night out with my close friends…”

“It’s the kind of day that could have sunk me,” Noah continues, “but music is my therapy and my way of dealing with everyday stress… so I turned the events into lyrics there and then. It’s rare that lyrics come to me fully formed like that, but every word was written that night. We finally got inspired by a piece that our drummer, Noah Riley, wrote for a Uni project and built Hell of a Day as we know it from there.”
For Noah and the Loners, punk is not just a label, but a state of being. The band, who are one of the latest signees to Marshall Records, have been developing a reputation for their barrage of two-minute freak-outs, in which they vent every frustration, be it political or personal, and bring a refreshing new voice to the genre. “I don’t see the point of writing a song if you’re not saying anything”, says Noah “and I don’t think we’d be the band we are if the music wasn’t so personal”.
Formed of Lonergan, Amber Welsh, Joseph Boyle and Noah Riley, the teens have spent the past two years chipping away at making their music a true reflection of themselves, and in the process becoming one of the most exciting new bands in punk.
Noah and the Loners have been rattling domestic and international stages alike, playing prestigious events such as The Great Escape festival in Brighton and the infamous SXSW in Austin, TX to great acclaim. Their next run of dates kick off this weekend in support of indie-punks, The Meffs.
