The Tubs will release their new album Cotton Crown, out March 7th via Trouble In Mind, along with the news, the band have shared the lead single/video, “Freak Mode.”

Cotton Crown Centres around life in the period following the suicide of his mother (the folk singer Charlotte Greig.), Williams sings of the clumsy, intrusive, and well-meaning social interactions that follow. Lead single “Freak Mode,” according to Williams, was written “about dating while grieving the death of my mother. It’s about making wacky tragicomic romantic assumptions and being an emotional freak, but also kind of being self aware about that and explaining it to whoever you’re shagging.”

The band’s debut, Dead Meat, gained some celeb fans: including Mark Proksch (The Office, Better Call Saul, What We Do in the Shadows) starred in the video for their “Round the Bend” single & punk legend Iggy Pop has praised them on his BBC 6Music radio program. The Tubs are currently supporting Fucked Up on a string of UK dates, and there will be US dates alongside more UK/EU dates coming up in 2025.
