The Go! Team have announced their new album ‘Get Up Sequences Part Two’ and shared first single ‘Divebomb’. Check it out below.

The Brighton band, who released their sixth album ‘Get Up Sequences Part One’ last summer, will return with ‘Part Two’ on February 3, 2023 via Memphis Industries.

First single ‘Divebomb’, a psychedelic, upbeat track with retro electric guitars and siren sound effects, features Detroit rapper IndigoYaj a makes a strong pro-choice statement.

“Protest songs have always been a balancing act,” The Go! Team’s Ian Parton said in a statement. “If you’re too sledgehammer it’s cringey, like the Scorpions’ ‘Winds of Change’ or something, but at the same time given the stuff they’re trying to pull with abortion rights it feels weird to ignore it.”

Parton also described the forthcoming album as a “global fruit salad, sharing that he travelled to Benin, Japan, France, India, Texas, and Detroit to work with various musical collaborators.

“Wildly different voices from wildly different cultures side by side but all still sounding unmistakably Go! Team,” he added.

Guest collaborators include Star Feminine Band, Bollywood singer Neha Hatwar, Kokubo Chisato from J-Pop band Lucie Too, Nitty Scott, and Hilarie Bratset, formerly of Apples In Stereo.

The recent court case between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is being brought to life in the new film Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial – watch the trailer below.

Mark Hapka and Megan Davis have been cast as Depp and Heard in the recreation of the court case, which will premiere on the free, ad-supported streaming platform Tubi tomorrow (September 30).

Discussing the quick turnaround of the project following the real-life court case earlier this summer, Tubi Chief Content Officer Adam Lewinson said: “Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial has ‘Hot Take’ in the title for a reason… this Tubi Original was fast-tracked into production to capture a timely take on a story that became part of the cultural zeitgeist, painting a unique picture of what millions watched play out in the headlines over the summer.”

Take a look at the trailer here:

In the recent defamation trial, the jury voted in favour of Depp.

The actor was awarded $10million (£8million) in compensatory damages and $5million in punitive damages earlier this month after he sued Heard for defamation regarding a 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post, where she wrote about being a survivor of domestic violence. The piece did not explicitly name Depp by name, though his lawyers argued that it falsely implies she was sexually and physically abused by him during their marriage.

Heard was also awarded $2million (£1.5million) after the jury found that Depp had defamed her through his attorney.

Discussing the result of the trial, Heard said: “Even if you think that I’m lying, you still couldn’t look me in the eye and tell me that you think on social media there’s been a fair representation. You cannot tell me that you think that this has been fair.”

Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial will premiere on Tubi tomorrow (September 30).
