County Durham indie-punk heroes Martha have announced details of their brand new album Love Keeps Kicking, out April 5th via Dirtnap Records in North America and Big Scary Monsters across the pond. The third full-length from the much loved quartet, Love Keeps Kicking is a celebration in the face of heartache, told through 11 career best anthems.

Having introduced fans to their new music with the riotous 'Heart Is Healing' late last year, today Martha have shared the album's incredible title track 'Love Keeps Kicking', along with a tongue-in-cheek video homage to 50s alien invasion movies.

Of the video, directors Ben Epstein and David Combs said: "We wanted to do an old sci-fi alien invasion pastiche and create a threat that no one can outrun, because as the song implies, at some point or another, we all feel the harsh sting of heartbreak. And what better metaphor is there for the inevitability of a broken heart than the swift kick of a giant disembodied foot? It basically wrote itself."

In many ways Love Keeps Kicking is a breakup record, with each song inhabiting different parts of the process. In true Martha style, the album dissects emotions and moments with poiniency and the wry lyrical wit present throughout their back-catalogue. A pop band at heart, the record sees the band writing with reinvigorated focus, producing some of their biggest choruses and the greatest sing-along moments yet.
