'When The Blade Drops' marks the band's first new material in four years.

Last year electronic rockers Vex Red made their return with their new EP 'Give Me The Dark', their first collection of new music since their 2002 debut record 'Start With A Strong And Persistent Desire'. In the lead up to the release the quintet revealed a video for 'Air', a song that tackles the current climate emergency. We wanted to find out more, so we caught up with the band to talk themes, behind the scenes stories and more.

The video footage was captured in Frank Iero's New Jersey basement.

The video comes ahead of the band's first UK/European headline tour.

It'd be churlish to already earmark an album of the year candidate already, but with a rich blend of punk, grime, distorted synth and outright aggression, PENGSHUi's self titled debut full-length attacks from start to finish, with quality oozing from every pore.

The band will release the new album in April via Fueled By Ramen.
