CHICAGO’S POST-PUNK DUO BELLHEAD TO RELEASE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED EP ‘GOOD INTENTIONS’ ON FRIDAY MAY 5TH ACROSS ALL PLATFORMS

Bellhead, a post-punk duo from Chicago, IL, USA,, will be releasing their highly anticipated EP ‘Good Intentions’ on May 5th, across all platforms.

This new release comes after the band spent most of 2022 touring to support their critically acclaimed sophomore release ‘Dead Lights’.

‘Good Intentions’ features six new songs that explore a pop sensibility while giving nods to New Order and a wink to Jesus and Mary Chain. The lead single “Valentine” evokes Depeche Mode synth lines and Placebo style bass grooves while exploring the themes of loss and hope or death and forgiveness. The EP includes other songs like “Bad Taste” and “Into the Deep”, which tackle topics like unsavory stalkers, unreliable narrators, and blood-thirsty sirens at sea. The EP’s second half includes Bellhead’s take on Love and Rockets’ hit “No Big Deal”.

Bellhead’s previous surprise single, a cover of Prince’s “I Would Die 4 U”, quickly gained popularity and earned over 6,000 plays on Spotify within 30 days of its release. The band has toured alongside international and national touring artists in 2022, and their 2023 spring dates include two shows with gothic acts Clan of Xymox and The Bellwether Syndicate. Afterward, they will co-headline nine dates with NYC’s coldwave artists The Clay People before ending the month of May as direct support for LA’s dark electronic duo Night Club in Chicago.

Bellhead has worked with their trusted production team to deliver ‘Good Intentions’, which includes audio engineer Neil Strauch (Iron and Wine/Counting Crows/Owls/Joan of Arc/Walking Bicycles/Slow Mass), mastering engineer Carl Saff (Acid Mothers Temple/Smoking Popes/Red Fang/Guided by Voices), and management team David Schock (WTII Records).
