Salisbury punk rockers CARSICK are pleased to announce they will support Essex Brit-punk duo The Meffs on their forthcoming January 2025 live dates, with a run of their own EU headline dates to follow in April 2025. Rounding out their biggest year so far—which saw them embarking on UK and EU headline shows, plus festival appearances at Reading & Leeds Festival, 2000 Trees, TRUCK, A Stone’s Throw, and more—the band released their music-industry-baiting latest single ‘Gig Tax’ earlier this year via Alcopop! Records. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Sam Winfield and Tom Millar at Studio 91, Newbury, the track is another scintillating slice of spiced-up indie punk from this constantly evolving and growing quartet. Filled as it with pimps, charlatans, ne’er-do-wells, abusers and conmen, ‘Gig Tax’ squarely takes aim at the many downsides that the music industry has to offer a hungry young band on the rise, and there are no holds barred in the process.
The band’s debut EP Drunk Hymns was released in 2023 in a standard digital edition and an extended 12” vinyl on Salisbury orange, featuring an exclusive Side B which contains all of the band’s previously digital-only release tracks.
With the promise of more new music and live dates for 2025, CARSICK are going full throttle into the new year.
