MNRK UK and Cold Years are excited to present “Choke,” the second single to be lifted from the Friday, April 26 release of A Different Life, the rising Scottish rock quartet’s brand new full-length album. A piercing denunciation of the current political state of the UK underpinned by frontman Ross Gordon’s stinging lyrics delivered with debilitating venom, “Choke” begs the question: "Where are you gonna go when you’ve become something you despise? You took it all, and now you’re nothing but desensitized." Check out the lyric video for “Choke” below.

Recorded at The Barber Shop Studios in New Jersey by producer Brett Romnes (Anxious, Hot Mulligan, Boston Manor, The Movielife), A Different Life is packed with songs that are both intensely personal and universally relatable and follows Paradise, the band’s 2020 politically-charged look at life in their hometown of Aberdeen, and 2022’s soaring & musically daring follow-up, Goodbye To Misery.
