Yesterday The Hunna released their highly anticipated third studio album I’d Rather Die Than Let You In through LMW Records. The record is available on all streaming platform and can be ordered on stadard CD, LP and tape through the band’s official store. Ambitious and mature, the album deals with the musicians’ growth as a band and rapid rise to fame, issues of love and loss, and handling the problematic split with previous label.
In a special interview for NME, charismatic frontman Ryan Potter discusses the album as being fueled by “a lot of angst, a lot of revenge and it’s about overcoming adversity” and talks about the band facing all problems together and staying true to themselves. The social media post announcing the release shows the newfound attitude and maturity of The Hunna, boldly stating that “anyone who wrote us off is going to be pleasantly surprised“.

I’d Rather Die Than Let You In spans over twelve original songs, starting with the honest introduction ‘One Hell of a Gory Story…‘ and concluding with the energetic alt-rock title track. The album features all of the five singles released so far this year – ‘Cover You‘, ‘Dark Times‘, ‘If This Is Love‘, ‘I Wanna Know‘ and the latest ‘Young & Faded‘, the last two accompanied by official music videos. The record showcases the full range of The Hunna’s abilities and influences, jumping from their signature indie alternative rock and pop punk all the way to the subtle dubstep elemennts in the chorus of ‘Lost‘, the hip-hop beats underlaying the verses in ‘One Day You’ll Thank Me‘ and the heavier guitars on the nu metal-inspired ‘Anything Is Better Than Nothing‘.
The Hunna seem to have found just the right man to channel the angst of the young and faded with producer John Feldman, known as the lead singer and guitarist of California punk/ska veterans Goldfinger and the mastermind behind hugely successful albums by blink-182, The Used, Escape The Fate, Fever 333, Black Veil Brides, Good Charlotte, State Champs and many more. Alongiside Feldman, the Herdforshire quartet’s ambitions and drives have drawn the interest of industry titans like Josh Dun (Twenty One Pilots) assisting them on ‘Dark Times‘, Pete Wenz (Fallout Boy) co-writing ‘One Second Left‘ and Travis Barker (blink-182) himself featuring on the drums for ‘Cover You‘, a clear statement of The Hunna’s place in the contemporary global punk and rock scenes.

With all the hype surrounding the releases of the explosive single ‘I Wanna Know‘ and rebelious anthem ‘Young & Faded‘, alongisde the personal lyrical themes, political charge and experienced production personel, I’d Rather Die Than Let You In is going straight for global success. Their silver-certified debut record 100 from 2016 peaked on #13 and its follow-up Dare from 2018 reached #12 but now, five turbolent years of sell-out shows, headline slots and overcoming legal horrors, The Hunna are set to finally break the top 10 and carry on stronger than ever.
Following the release of the record, the band are going to play a socially distanced acoustic show and a Q&A session at Pryzm in Kingston on 12 October, with tickets still available with album purchase. The Hunna return to live gigs in early 2021 with a UK tour starting in Dublin on 7 April and concluding in Bournemouth on 21 April before embarking on a European tour until mid-May.
