As December Falls are back—and they’re not holding back. The Nottingham pop-punk four-piece have just dropped their latest single, “Ready Set Go,” and it’s a moody, slow-burning anthem straight from the Undercity. Inspired by frontwoman Bethany Hunter’s late-night League of Legends sessions and obsession with Arcane, the track swaps punchy riffs for something darker and sexier—proof the band isn’t afraid to play in new sonic territory.
The single is the latest taste of their upcoming album Everything’s On Fire But I’m Fine, out August 8th via ADF Records and Virgin. If the title doesn’t already tell you, this one’s going to hit deep. Their last record Join The Club smashed its way through the UK charts and nearly cracked the Top 10, and judging by what we’ve heard so far, they’re out to top themselves once again.
“Ready Set Go” isn’t just a shift in sound—it’s a declaration. From gaming marathons to emotional meltdowns, this new era of As December Falls is embracing the chaos of real life and turning it into powerful, unfiltered pop-punk catharsis. The album dives into everything from heartbreak to mental health, from chaotic nights to quiet breakdowns. There’s rage, there’s vulnerability, and there’s a whole lot of honesty.
The full album promises 14 tracks of raw energy, messy feelings, and big hooks—exactly what you’d want from a band that’s been burning at both ends and still coming out swinging. And with their biggest UK and EU tour to date kicking off this October, it’s clear they’re not slowing down anytime soon.
Whether you’re in it for the plot or just need a new anthem to scream in your car, “Ready Set Go” proves that As December Falls are more than ready for their next level.
