Arab Strap, A Musical Revolution: New Album & UK Tour 2024!

Arab Strap are back with their electrifying new album set to release on May 10, 2024, via Rock Action Records. Titled ‘I’m totally fine with it 👍 don’t give a fuck anymore 👍,’ The album assures an exploration into uncharted territories.

First Single “Bliss” – A Disco Banger with a Message

The lead single, “Bliss,” is a bold departure, presenting Arab Strap’s most sonically expansive work. Addressing the perils of online hate, the track combines electronic beats with a touch of the band’s signature guitar, creating a danceable yet impactful anthem. Accompanied by a compelling video directed by Ains, the song confronts cowardice and bigotry in the digital realm.
