Liverpool Stalwarts The Room Explore The Dark Side Of Modern Life On New 'Doom Pop!' Album
Liverpool post-punk pioneers The Room present their third album 'Doom Pop!', released via 9x9 Records, as well as the video for the album focus track 'The Room'. Inspired by the strange days in we are living through, 'Doom Pop!' explores the rise of authoritarianism, disinformation, war and paranoia.

Recorded and mixed at Ark Studios in Liverpool, this album was co-produced by Dave Jackson and Steve Powell (Michael Head & the Red Elastic Band, Autour De Lucie, Echo & The Bunnymen).
