Brighton punk rock quartet Harker have announced their new album ‘All That Remains’ will be released 2nd October via Disconnect Disconnect Records (with Shield Recordings doing the honours in Europe and Fixing a Hole Records in Japan). The news comes alongside the release of another punk anthem from the band in the form of new single ‘Dislocation’, which is out today, along with a lyric video so you can sing along whilst punching that fist in the air.
Vocalist and guitarist Mark Boniface says: “One of the things I used to do a lot in my twenties was drive at night. I’d wake at 3am for no reason and it would be the only way to calm my head. I think I did it a lot as I felt like I had no one to share my negative thoughts with. I have to acknowledge I would have had a lot fewer problems if I just spoke to a therapist or friend. The line ‘stuck between stations’ is a nod to The Hold Steady. Thanks guys for always helping me out on the hardest journeys.”
‘All That Remains’ also includes last year’s singles - ‘Redacted’ (“about the past you’d rather forget — mistakes, regrets, and once-friends that haunt you”) and Harker’s self-deprecating but rousing anti-anthem ‘I Ruin Everything.’ The song—an explosive reflection on living with ADHD and Boniface’s own diagnosis—served as the first taste of the new record’s raw emotional core.
‘All That Remains’ was recorded and mixed by Toby May (The Levellers, The Wedding Present, CLT DRP), with additional production from the band, and mastered by Jason Livermore (Propagandhi, Rise Against, Hot Water Music, NOFX) at Blasting Room Studios. Harker’s third album, it’s by far their most ambitious and fully realised work to date, and the first to feature guitarist Louis May joining the established line up of Boniface, Phoebe Saunders (bass) and Matt Claxton (drums). Recorded in their hometown at the Levellers’ Metway Studio, the album captures a band pushing their sound forward while staying rooted in the raw honesty that defines them.
To celebrate the release, Harker will tour the UK this autumn, bringing their cathartic and high-energy live show to stages across the country.
Rooted in Brighton’s DIY ethos, Harker channel the grit of Dischord Records and the fuzz-drenched warmth of ’90s indie rock, fusing it with the melodic bite of Superchunk, Against Me!, and The Replacements. ‘Redacted’ and ‘I Ruin Everything’ showcase their knack for heartfelt hooks and urgent, melodic punk that hits straight to the chest. These are songs built to be screamed back at the band in packed rooms and festival fields alike—cathartic, defiant, and deeply human. Since forming in 2015, Harker have toured relentlessly across the UK, Europe, the US (where they played at The Fest just last year) and Japan. What began as Mark Boniface’s solo project playing house shows and tiny venues has evolved into one of the UK’s most melodic and emotionally resonant punk acts—louder, bolder, and more alive than ever.
