UNIVERSITY, the Crewe-based four-piece formed of Zak Bowker (vocals/
guitar), Ewan Barton (bass), drummerJoel Smith and Eddie (mascot),
announce their debut album, McCartney, It’ll Be OK, out 20 June 2025 via
Transgressive
Recorded with producer Kwes Darko (Sampa The Great, Denzel Curry) at Damon
Albarn’s Studio 13 in London, McCartney, It’ll Be OK furthers the extremely exciting
beginnings of UNIVERSITY’s 2023 debut EP, Title Track, with the hooks now brighter
and more melodic, the breakdowns heavier and the lyrics more refned.
The band
recorded McCartney, It’ll Be Alrighttotally live, and it retains the delightfully unhinged
energy that’s defned their work so far, with everything thrillingly close to falling apart
at any minute.
“an explosion of energy unlike anything you’ve heard this year”- NME
“a band trying to pummel their way out of a cage” – DIY Mag
