Lambrini Girls have shared a brand-new single and video, God’s Country.

The Brighton punks ask the question, ‘Are you sure?’ in their new no-holds-barred examination of the state of Great Britain these days, explaining that, “God’s Country is our long overdue call-out of the government and rise of the far right. We wrote this a few months back, when the political landscape had evidently reached a global boiling point.

“Great Britain. Think colonial, shit-hole, chunk of land. Thriving off unhinged nationalism, fed to us by the right red hand of unelected prime ministers. Despite this, we have the audacity to call our country ‘Great’. So we ask you, ‘Are you sure?’ We could deep dive into inspirations and influences, but the song’s about politics, not us. We hope the song speaks for itself.

“Rishi, Cameron, Cummings, Starmer – you’re all on our shit list.”

Watch the video for God’s Country below:

To coincide with the single’s release, Lambrini Girls have also just announced their biggest-ever London headline date at the Scala in King’s Cross on June 13, with tickets for that going on sale tomorrow (Friday, February 16).
