Coming out of the South of the UK, Bitchin’ Hour rises once again, this time with the added flair of two new members, injecting new life into their unapologetically queer, in-your-face brand of rock music. Standing proudly for LGBTQ+ rights and the universal right of everyone to feel safe, Bitchin’ Hour takes a heavier turn with the mission to prove that glitter can make breakdowns hit even harder.
Bitchin’ Hour first made their entrance in 2020 with the release of “Viper Woman,” followed by a series of singles and their debut album, Screams in Bisexual Panic, released last year. This year, they roared back onto the scene with “Tooth and Nail,” paving the way for their latest release, the brand new single titled “Time to Burn.”
Launched with a headline show in Southampton on a night that also brought together several exciting acts from the region, “Time to Burn” distils the intense guitar-driven sound of Bitchin’ Hour into a powerful dose of angsty alternative rock music. Capturing a sense of defiance, the song is written about the devastation endured from having your heart broken by someone you thought was your true love.
With an empowering context, the band channels rage into a storming sound of gritty guitars, pounding drums and a dynamic vocal performance that bends from melodic lines to soaring moments to bitter growls. Opened by a bouncy guitar riff, the drums and vocal yelp usher in a crunchy rock groove joined by commanding vocals.
Swaggering rock attitude, impressive musicianship and sensational vocals all combine on this raucous and exhilarating outing. Switching energies between uptempo, driving verses to anthemic choruses capped by memorable leads, with their new single, the band delivers an epic sound that sees them continue to go from strength to strength with each new move.
With each release, Bitchin’ Hour continues to stake their claim as a leading act in the alternative rock scene of the UK and beyond. As they close another successful year with a stellar new release, we can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store for this thrilling outfit.
