Daffodildos, who are proudly signed to Not Saints, the only record label dedicated to supporting artists in recovery, have crafted an anthem that resonates powerfully within the ever-growing sober movement. ‘Never Enough’ is a raw and unfiltered portrayal of the struggles faced by those dealing with substance abuse, offering a voice of solidarity and strength to anyone who has lost their way due to alcohol or drugs.

“Think I’m happy as can be, even though I’m filled with misery,” Emily Flea shouts over the band’s signature sound of fuzzy guitars, punching bass lines from Captain Jax, and the fast-paced, relentless drumming of Annie Von Flange. The single captures the essence of Daffodildos gritty and unapologetic style, blending punk energy with raw emotional honesty.

‘Never Enough’ marks the third single from their eagerly anticipated upcoming EP, Not My Cup Of Tea, which is set for release on October 4. The track showcases Daffodildos’ musical prowess and their commitment to addressing critical issues through their art, making it a must-listen for fans and newcomers alike.

Punk has always been a genre that challenges societal norms and brings injustices to light. Queer vegan band Daffodildos are taking up the mantle with pride. Singer and guitarist Emily Flea comments on the new single: “It makes you question your motives for eating meat and dairy. It challenges all the reasons people give for not going vegan.”

‘What’s Your Excuse?’ might spark controversy among average consumers, but the urgency of our climate crisis and the need to address animal rights can no longer be ignored. With the undeniable rise of veganism over the past decade, bands like Daffodildos are highlighting the ongoing animal suffering that often goes unnoticed.

Having just played 2024’s Bearded Theory Festival, this trio of neon-painted misfits have dropped their first official single ‘No Pride’ with not-for-profit indie label Not Saints today.

In their own words singer/guitarist Emily Flea says: “I wrote it [No Pride] when I was on a bus in London during Pride Month, and I saw shops… banks… police cars with rainbow flags and I was like, ‘what’s this got to do with Pride’? They’re not with us, they’re against us!”.

‘No Pride’ is an easy to love punk classic. Summing up the commercialisation of Pride without sounding preachy or overdone. The song touches on the fact that people mostly use Pride as an excuse to party when actually the rest of the year, the LGBTQIA* community suffers from dangerous stigma and abuse.

The music is firmly rooted in early punk, topped with shouty vocals from Emily Flea, and a flurry of fast-paced drums from Annie von Flange. The trio is completed by Captain Jax on bass and suitably brassy backing vocals.

While the band don’t take themselves too seriously “the music is as bad as the name”, it’s clear that the Daffs are already making waves in the queer and punk scene, using their voices to speak up on ethical issues, including sobriety and veganism.

No matter whether you’re gay, straight, sober or even a fan of punk music, ‘No Pride’ promises to have you jumping around the room and giving both your middle fingers to the powers that be.
