Acclaimed punk-pop pioneers Breakup Haircut return with a second album that pushes their sound further: sharper and tighter, but stays messy in all the right places. This is about leaning into joy, silliness, and trust: in each other, in the process, in the songs. They recorded it in a literal garage (mummified, decaying bird and all), recording DIY-style with their longtime engineer Marvin living on-site for a week of chaos, cowbells, and comfort food.

The result is a punchy and emotionally layered collection that ricochets from resentment to resilience, from burnouts to breakups. Throughout, the band blends high-impact hooks with unexpectedly vulnerable songwriting, making it clear they’re not afraid to be loud and honest. No Worries If Not! is a love letter to the messy, joyful, exhausting, chaotic experience of making music with your friends.

"It’s garage rock. We mean that literally. We recorded it in a garage. A week before we started, Jordan cleared it out and found a mummified bird and a thriving ecosystem of mould. Classic omen. We scrubbed it out, built a massive blanket fort to record in, and then Marvin (our ride-or-die sound engineer) told us the fort was sonically cursed and made us tear it down and rebuild it. He was right. It hurt.

"A lot of this record came from thinking about the weird life cycle of being in a band. The highs, the lows, the late-night group chats, the mild existential crises, the snack runs. We spent a lot of time reflecting on why we do this and what it means to make music with your friends and how to keep that fun and grounded, even when it’s a lot of work.

"We’re trying to move away from chasing gold stars and more toward joy, silliness, and being in the flow. Improving our craft in a way that feels playful, not punishing. We also wanted to open the door a bit wider and grow beyond the DIY scene without forgetting where we came from. Accept inspiration from outside, say yes when people offer help, and let ourselves dream a little bigger while still keeping things weird."

Breakup Haircut are a sometimes-pop-sometimes-punk band. They formed for First Timers 2019, a fest where every band plays its first ever show, with two goals: being friends and playing fast. They’ve since been playing shows, making pals, and solving mysteries left and right.


Their music is defined by humorously relatable lyrics and boppin’ basslines - and they’ve received positive and uplifting coverage from Loud Women, Gal-Dem, Pirate, Louder Than War, Clash, Get In Her Ears, Echoes and Dust, and numerous other publications - and played a variety of slots from festivals and sold out dayers to supporting DIY scene legends like Big Joanie and The Wedding Present.


They’re extremely involved in the London DIY community, acting as organisers in First Timers Fest, Decolonise Fest, and Girls Rock! London (efforts to diversify the London music scene and demystify music-making), and representing in various queer sports teams across London.
