Sydney trio Middle Kids today release ‘Terrible News’ the latest single from their forthcoming album “Faith Crisis Pt 1,” set for release on February 16 and available to pre-order here now.
Produced by Jonathan Gilmore (The 1975, beabadoobee), ‘Terrible News’ is a confessional guitar laden track penned by lead vocalist Hannah Joy in an insecure time during covid. “There was a lot of confusion and information and rules and anger and people judging people and loss and distrust. I eventually felt so overwhelmed by all the noise, I couldn’t take it anymore.” explains Joy. “The guitars are kinda shouty too or maybe just urgent. I wanted to stack a lot of guitar layers to create almost a guitar choir. We got a friend Brendan Champion to play some brass on it which really elevates the song as it marches along.”

‘Terrible News’ follows the release of recent singles ‘Bend’, ’Dramamine’, ‘Bootleg Firecracker’ and ‘Highlands’, which along with the rest of the album were recorded in Eastbourne, UK in late 2022 and co-produced by Jonathon Gilmore and Tim Fitz.
“Faith Crisis Pt 1” is the band’s most ambitious work to date; over 13 propulsive, ecstatic and gorgeous tracks, the band explore lyrical and musical territory inspired by lead singer Hannah Joy’s search for meaning and identity after personal crisis. Despite the earnest subject matter, the album’s central achievement is the gift Joy and bandmates Tim Fitz and Harry Day demonstrate when expressing the sensation of being overwhelmed, swept up and dragged down with songs that exalt and lift you higher.
Middle Kids’ previous album, “Today We’re The Greatest,” earned critical acclaim, including the Best Rock Album award at the 2021 ARIA Awards. Despite releasing it at the height of the pandemic, the band managed to captivate international audiences with TV appearances on shows like Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and The Late, Late Show with James Cordon.
Middle Kids first gained attention in 2017 with their debut single, “Edge Of Town” and their debut album, “Lost Friends”, which won Triple J’s Best Australian Album Award in 2018. The success of their albums has also earned the band an international touring profile which has included supporting shows with the likes of Bloc Party, Kings of Leon, War on Drugs and Cold War Kids. Middle Kids have recently completed a 29-date tour of North America with Manchester Orchestra and Jimmy Eat World.
