British punk-pop powerhouse Hot Milk has officially entered a new era with the announcement of their sophomore album, Corporation P.O.P.—due out June 27 via Music For Nations. The band previewed the record Friday with its defiant new single “Swallow This,” now streaming alongside a fierce music video.
The track continues the group’s politically charged messaging, taking aim at global leadership and the modern information landscape.“We live in a post-truth era. We are confused, we are lost, and we are untrusting,” says lead singer Han Mee. “This is a protest song against the hypodermic needle of control media… We must prioritize the wellness and safety of our fellow man—community, joy, laughter, spirit. I will stand on that picket line if it comes to it. For now, this is all we got. Enjoy. F*** ’em.”
Corporation P.O.P. is a raucous, reality-check of a record. Built on Manchester roots and sharpened by frontwoman Han Mee’s background in politics, the album confronts global disillusionment with a regional heart. “I’ve always felt like a bit of a white knight—it’s my duty to save the world somehow,” Mee says. “But I’m learning to think globally and act locally.”
The album’s title and themes reflect the tension between corporate control and human vulnerability, filtered through blistering guitars, rally-cry choruses, and a distinctly Northern wit. Recorded live and produced by Jim Shaw, with Zach Jones and KJ Stock, the albums delivers Hot Milk at their heaviest and most lyrically unfiltered.
Pre-orders for Corporation P.O.P. are available now in multiple formats, including a band store exclusive LP, color vinyl, and CD via hotmilk.co.uk.
Hot Milk will support Corporation P.O.P. with an ambitious run of headline shows across the U.S. and U.K., followed by major festival slots including Warped Tour (Long Beach), Louder Than Life in Kentucky, and Aftershock Festival in Sacramento.
The band’s U.S. spring tour kicks off April 16 in Charlotte, North Carolina, and includes stops in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Toronto, wrapping May 20 in Dallas, Texas. Full dates and ticket information are available at hotmilk.co.uk.
