Lambrini Girls dropped their first new music in over a year this week. “Cult of Celebrity” is a snarling two-minute takedown of wealth and status, and it lands exactly where you would expect from a band that spent the last two years making one of the angrier debuts in British punk.

Phoebe Lunny and Selin Macieira released the track alongside a music video directed by Harv Frost. The whole package makes clear they have no interest in moderating their message as their profile grows. The song targets the same people it always has: the ones who believe the rules are designed for everyone else. What is different now is the scale. Lambrini Girls are playing both weekends of Coachella 2026 before a North American tour through May and then continuing across Europe.

Their debut album, Who Let the Dogs Out, came out in January 2025 and established them quickly as one of the sharpest acts working in the UK right now. “Cult of Celebrity” is the first indication of where they go from there. The answer, so far, is louder and more pointed, which is the right direction.

There is a particular usefulness in a band this furious getting this much attention. The venues are getting bigger. The targets remain the same.
