London quartet Fightmilk offer up a joyful racket on their second LP, Contender
Fightmilk’s second album
Contender proves itself worthy of the title. If you like catchy indierock/pop with lyrics that can cut down the best of them but just as easily abandon that tone for the heartfelt, and even profound, then Fightmilk are the band for you. Their 2018 debut,
Not With That Attitude, was a winning combination of bile, big hooks, and a great sense of humor and, although they didn’t need to, the band has expanded their palette on

Vocalist/guitarist Lily Rae shines throughout, displaying a heartfelt yet hard-hitting demeanour, with the relatable and forthright lyrics of tracks like Lucky Coin – ‘
We wake up every morning and we pray the end is quick / The world is just one big dark room that makes you feel sick’ – proving one of this record’s greatest strengths. Another real asset of Fightmilk is their appetite for hooky, melody-driven choruses, such as those on Overbite, which features charmingly straightforward lyricism (‘
