Sam Fender - Hypersonic Missiles | Track By Track | Radio X

Sam Fender’s Hypersonic Missiles is an instant classic. Not since Arctic Monkeys’ staggering debut has a record so perfectly taken a snap shot of a generation. But gone are the days of Alex Turner’s mid-noughties Tropical Reefs and taxis-home-from-nightclubs. Instead, as we prepare to tumble into the 20s, we find an adolescent landscape that’s bleak and confused, where teenagers battle anxiety and depression, as well as the pressures of social media, prescription drugs, and the need to be “woke.“ It’s a new world out there, and it seems Sam Fender is the one to lead us into it. Watch Sam Fender talk John Kennedy through every song on Hypersonic Missiles. Hypersonic Missiles tracklisting: 1. Hypersonic Missiles 2. The Borders 3. White Privilege 4. Dead Boys 5.
