SICKY Releases New Lyric Video for Britpop Ripper “Money For The News”

UK indie agitator SICKY has unleashed the official lyric video for his latest single “Money For The News”, taken from the forthcoming album Troubled Delight, set for release on August 1, 2025 via Epictronic.

Cutting Through the Noise

Driven by sharp-edged guitars and venom-laced vocal delivery, “Money For The News” dismantles modern media narratives with a mix of satire and disdain. It’s both catchy and caustic — a punk-fueled Britpop burner that hits like a late-night TV broadcast gone rogue. “No leaders, no truth — just money for the noise,” SICKY declares, in a line that feels ripped from the headlines yet entirely timeless.

The track has been described by fans on YouTube and social media as “blistering,” “brazen,” and “exactly what this era needs — no filter, all fire.” With an eye for irony and a fearless approach to songwriting, SICKY once again proves that he’s a master of turning discontent into anthems.

From Papa Mantra to Punk Truths

Hailing from the Black Country and now based in Shropshire, SICKY’s musical history is a rich blend of grit and eccentricity. Known for projects like Papa Mantra and SUMO, he’s long abandoned genre boundaries in favor of whatever feels raw and real.

On Troubled Delight, his upcoming full-length, SICKY turns the volume up on that ethos. Influenced by the punch of glam rock, the cynicism of punk, and the melodies of classic Britpop, the album captures the mess of modern life with searing honesty and bold sonic flair.
