Sppeedwear is not one of them.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hot off the heels of their gloriously unhinged debut EP, Stoke-on-Trent\u2019s finest chaos merchants Sppeedwear\u00a0are back with\u00a0\u2018Wait (Hatchet Gets a New Hide)\u2019\u00a0\u2014 a title that sounds like a cryptic crossword clue and a song that hits like a dance-floor exorcism in a haunted arcade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3661274743\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"https:\/\/formalsppeedwear.bandcamp.com\/album\/wait-hatchet-gets-a-new-hide\">Wait (Hatchet Gets a New Hide) by Formal Sppeedwear<\/a><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t your nan\u2019s new wave. Built almost entirely, on a crusty\u00a0Tascam 488 cassette recorder\u00a0that probably smells like old pub carpets and genius,\u00a0\u2018Wait\u2019\u00a0is a stitched-together sonic Frankenstein of early-era Sppeedwear chaos. It\u2019s a track that\u2019s lived a few lives already, road-tested in jam-packed venues across the UK and Europe in 2024, where sweaty devotees could smugly mutter \u201cI heard it before it blew up\u201d while pretending not to spill Red Stripe on their vintage Nikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gone, for now, are the time signature backflips and heavily-treated synth noodles. In their place?\u00a0First wave funk-punk riffs, a sprinkle of\u00a0city pop glitter, and a riot of found-sound percussion that may or may not involve kitchen utensils, gravel, or a disgruntled seagull. It\u2019s all locked down by a rhythm section that refuses to blink and vocals that demand your full, undivided attention. Think dancefloor domination with a post-punk snarl and the soul of a warehouse rave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-youtube-block\"><div id=\"yb-video-A7216irNgnI\" class=\"yb-player\" data-video-id=\"A7216irNgnI\" data-title=\"Play\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/A7216irNgnI\/hqdefault.jpg)\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"yb-btn-play\"><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div><figcaption class=\"yb-caption\">Formal Sppeedwear \u2013 Wait (Hatchet Gets a New Hide) \u2013 Official Video<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Catch Sppeedwear live while you still have the bragging rights. They\u2019re heading back to mainland Europe for\u00a0Supersonic\u2019s Block Party Festival\u00a0in May, before unleashing the madness at\u00a0George Tavern in London on June 14th. Consider this your final warning \u2014 the hatchet\u2019s getting a new hide, and it\u2019s wearing dancing shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 id=\"eu-uk-tour-dates_\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">EU & UK Tour
