McCartney, It'll Be OK

UNIVERSITY, the Crewe-based four-piece formed of Zak Bowker (vocals/guitar), Ewan Barton (bass), drummerJoel Smith and Eddie (mascot), announce their debut album, McCartney, It'll Be OK, out 20 June 2025 via Transgressive. Recorded with producer Kwes Darko (Sampa The Great, Denzel Curry) at Damon Albarn's Studio 13 in London, McCartney, It'll Be OK furthers the extremely exciting beginnings of UNIVERSITY's 2023 debut EP, Title Track, with the hooks now brighter and more melodic, the breakdowns heavier and the lyrics more refined. The band recorded McCartney, It'll Be Alrighttotally live, and it retains the delightfully unhinged energy that's defined their work so far, with everything thrillingly close to falling apart at any minute. "an explosion of energy unlike anything you've heard this year"- NME "a band trying to pummel their way out of a cage" - DIY Mag "glorious desolation" - So Young
