HACKTIVIST's highly-anticipated debut UNFD/Rise Records LP Outside The Box isn't officially out until this Friday, March 4th, but you can listen to the whole album now on the Rise Records Youtube page.
The
Milton Keynes, UK rockers say, “It’s so fucking exciting that we’re
finally able to reveal what we’ve been working on for so long - Outside The Box
is our debut album and we couldn’t be prouder of it. It’s the sound of
five mates against the world (plus a few other of our insanely talented
friends) and believe me when I say this is only the beginning.”
Like antibodies that fight disease, Outside The Box
is an immediate and fierce response to the world Hacktivist inhabit.
It's a conscious call to arms and the product of a unique bunch of mates
that could only ever have been conceived in the neglected corners of
one of the UK's most misunderstood towns in 2016 by one of the most
exciting bands around. It's no understatement to say Outside The Box
has been a long time coming - it comprises over five years' worth of
ideas that have been bubbling while the band crossed milestone after
milestone, fueled by the success of their incendiary self-titled 2013
EP.
Earlier this week, the band debuted a video for their latest single 'Taken', which features special guest Rou Reynolds of Enter Shikari.
