Wonk Unit Release Video For “Rapidly Declining Dignity”; New LP Good Good Glad To Hear It Up For Pre-Order Now

A longtime banner carrier for fiercely independent DIY punk in the UK, Wonk Unit are teaming with Pirates Press Records to release their ninth studio LP, Good Good Glad To Hear It, available for pre-order now!

Based in the South London town of Croydon, the band is well-reputed for playing a brand of punk rock that defies easy pigeonholing musically, and presents unvarnished honesty in the lyrics.

The confessional spirit and emotional honesty of the songwriting shines through in every song on the Good Good Glad To Hear It, and the opening track & lead single, “Rapidly Declining Dignity,” recalls lead singer / songwriter / guitarist Alex Wonk’s experience in rehab 25 years ago, where he found journaling and sharing his experience with others liberating. “The song is about me, 25 years ago. My life was fucked, I was dying, I had no soul. I didn’t care. The universe stepped in and here I am. It’s a sad, depressing song about addiction.” Yet ultimately, it is a song that could only be written by someone who survived to share the story.

Pirates Press Records is proud to release Wonk Unit’s Good Good Glad To Hear It on 12” Classic Black Vinyl and 12” Transparent Orange & Black Swirl Vinyl. Pre-orders are underway via the PPR webstore, and the record will be available everywhere on December 06, 2024.
