After making their names in their previous act, the acclaimed UK hardcore band Heck, vocalist/guitarist Matt Reynolds and drummer Tom Marsh aim to carry that same attitude and fire over to Haggard Cat...

Fiery Garage Rock Duo Haggard Cat have dropped their scathing new video for American Graffiti. 

Frontman Matt Reynolds comments:

"American Graffiti is written about knowing something is wrong and choosing to do nothing about it. We exist in a time where we have the benefit of hindsight into what happens when we harbor certain toxic views and allow these principles to govern our society.

Instances have been allowed to escalate throughout history and with all the knowledge right at our fingertips and more accessible than ever we are still part of a world where segregation, division and hate not only exist but are entertained by an apparent majority. Common sense is stamped out by the loudest voice and replaced with greed. Mistakes will be repeated and a permanent mark left.

American Graffiti is about those people that have let it happen, or worse encouraged it to, and think they can simply delete it from their conscience."

American Graffiti is taken from the debut album on Earache Records titled Challenger which is released 20 April 2018.
