Cardinals have unveiled their new single ‘The Burning of Cork’, a politically charged track that arrives ahead of their upcoming album ‘Masquerade’, due 13th February via So Young Records.
Frontman Euan Manning explains, “The song takes its name from the act of terror inflicted upon Cork City by the British Army’s Black and Tan forces in December 1920. It’s the record at its heaviest and most menacing.”
The release is accompanied by a music video directed by Greg Purcell.
The band recently performed at Fontaines D.C.’s Finsbury Park event, supported Wunderhorse in Dublin, and toured the US with The Pogues. They have also headlined the So Young tour and are currently supporting NewDad across the UK and Ireland.
