Metal/hardcore quartet Bailer are streaming their new single Feel It More, the second track to be taken from their self-titled EP – due for release on 9th February via Distro-y Records. Following on from 2017’s PTSD and 2016’s Shaped By The Landscape, Bailer is an ambitious collection of tracks that showcase a band who have truly discovered their sound.
‘We all get caught up in the heat of the moment sometimes, and it makes it hard for us to stand back and take it all in,’ the band comment of the track. ‘We wrote this song at a time where it was really easy for us to see everything for what it was and really feel it. Those moments can be rare these days.’
The band have also announced live dates in support of the new record, including three EP launch shows in Ireland and a headline tour in Russia.

Returning to work with Murdock’s Aidan Cunningham, BAILER is relentless from the get-go as the merciless ‘Lying For A Living’ brings the listener up to speed in a riotous fashion, while the likes of ‘Tuesday Blues’ and ‘Death Is A Reminder’ take a filthier route, reminiscent of Cancer Bats. Since forming in 2015 BAILER have pricked the ears of many other musicians, with some familiar faces lending their vocals to this latest EP. Adam Carroll formerly of Zoax, Xander Coughlan of Emigra and Kevin ‘Lefty’ Letford of Red Enemy all feature, adding their own slice of character to the record.
With a small discography the four-piece have impressively garnered attention from Metal Hammer, Kerrang! Radio presenter Alex Baker, Metal Injection and Heavy Blog Is Heavy, an achievement that is no mean feat for a band so early into their career. BAILER have spent their short time as a band building up a strong reputation in their home ground, having played shows alongside Norma Jean, Sick Of It All, Employed To Serve, HECK, Murdock, Shields, Red Enemy and more.
