Since forming four years ago, James Martin and Chris Childs have been producing heartfelt songs with a melodic drive. Now they&#8217;re set to release a new EP called <em>&#8216;I Don&#8217;t Wanna Go Home&#8217;<\/em> next month through <b>Real Ghost Records<\/b>. Its four songs perfectly capture the sad, emotive nature of past releases and blend it with radiant, catchy hooks that are full of hope.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of its release, we&#8217;re pleased to be premiering the closing track from the EP,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Ghost&#8217;<\/em>. It is considerably <strong>H_ngm_n<\/strong>&#8216;s most reserved offering to date but is still carried with the heart that has served the duo so well so far. And for those hearing them for the first time, we think it&#8217;s an ideal introduction to what\u00a0<strong>H_ngm_n<\/strong> are all about.<\/p>\n<p><b>AH: Introduce us and tell us a little bit about H_ngm_n?<\/b><br \/>\n<i>H_ngm_n: Hey, we\u2019re Chris and James, a two-piece emo punk band from Brighton. We used to play in a band together, and have been doing H_ngm_n for around four years now. We write sad lyrics over upbeat tunes, we\u2019re quite noisy and we sweat a lot. Songs about drinking too much, hating getting older and generally overthinking everything. Cheery!<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>AH: You&#8217;ve just been touring across Europe, how was that?<\/b><br \/>\n<i>Chris: We had an absolute blast. Besides the fact that James forgot to bring jeans and did the whole tour in shorts, and I managed to buy a children\u2019s sleeping bag, we survived. Everyone we met has been super nice (except a few old angry German guys we managed to upset) and we can\u2019t wait to do more touring in the new year. Europe is sick and to getting to do it with All Better was well fun.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/516660690%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-AhXRR&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true&amp;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>AH: Today we&#8217;re hosting the exclusive premiere of <i>&#8216;Ghost&#8217;<\/i>. Tell us about this song and the lyrical meaning?<\/b><br \/>\n<i>Chris: So we went with a different approach with this song, it\u2019s quite a bit slower than a lot of our stuff. It\u2019s basically about wanting something you can\u2019t have. I think everyone can relate to that feeling at some point. The grass is always greener, right? But yeah it\u2019s like being in that limbo of feeling bad about it and being almost obsessive, all while trying to accept that sometimes it isn\u2019t all that. I hope that makes sense, I suck at explaining songs!<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>AH: What&#8217;s next for H_ngm_n?<\/b><br \/>\n<i>Chris: World domination obviously. But I guess before we do that, we&#8217;ll be getting our new EP out (with Real Ghost Records!) and we have a load more tours in the pipeline for the new year. Also got a couple of videos in the works too. And then world domination.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;I Don&#8217;t Wanna Go Home&#8217;<\/em>\u00a0EP by\u00a0<strong>H_ngm_n<\/strong> will be released through\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.realghostrecords.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Real Ghost Records<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>H_ngm_n\u00a0<\/strong>links: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hngmnuk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hngmnuk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/hngmnuk.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>Do you have a new video or release you\u2019d like to premier on <b>Already Heard<\/b>?
