Glasgow’s genre-spanning post-punk outfit Poster Club are back with new single ‘Circuits’, set for release on February 20 via Electric Honey Records. Following the success of their recent singles ‘Tradeston’ and ‘Goth Parade’, which leaned into dance and synth influences, ‘Circuits’ takes listeners on a journey back to the band’s raw, punk-inspired origins.

With its thumping pace, dissonant guitars, and a high-octane climax, ‘Circuits’ showcases Poster Club’s ability to merge punk swagger with their signature blend of post-punk and new wave sounds. Introduced with apprehensive guitar chords, the song quickly launches into a driving rhythm, reflecting themes of vulnerability and emotional honesty.

Poster Club’s debut EP pair, Deterioration Parts 1 & 2, released in late 2023, marked their arrival on the Scottish music scene, leading to a near sell-out show at King Tut’s.

After signing with Electric Honey Records—the label responsible for launching icons like Biffy Clyro, Belle & Sebastian, and Snow Patrol—Poster Club’s profile has only grown. Their first single with the label, ‘Goth Parade’, earned a feature on Billy Sloan’s BBC Radio Scotland show, and their genre-blurring style continues to capture the attention of national and international audiences.

‘Circuits’ marks another chapter in Poster Club’s musical evolution. With its heartfelt lyricism, pacey riffs, and dramatic tempo shifts, the single exemplifies the band’s ability to blend authenticity and innovation. This isn’t a band tied to one sound—Poster Club uses a sonic palette of punk, techno and synth, and everything in between.

“‘Circuits’ is about opening up and letting someone truly see what’s inside you—both emotionally and literally,” explains vocalist Konrad. “The lyrics, ‘“rip me open, look at my circuits,” are raw and unfiltered, inspired by artists like Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit and Brian Sella of The Front Bottoms, who have this incredible knack for honesty in their writing. It’s a concept that felt personal and urgent to explore.”

The song was a long time coming, with early ideas dating back to a guitar riff saved in a phone note from late 2018. A lineup change and the addition of a new drummer brought fresh energy to the track, revitalising it and setting the tone for the band’s evolving sound.

“It’s the stepping stone between our old sound and new direction,” adds Konrad. “We’re just as excited by the dance and technical tracks like ‘Tradeston’ as we are by the guitar-driven, punk-edged songs like this.”
