Hot on the heels of their last single "(My) Death Song" in February, the UK dark synth/electro band Massive Ego release their latest high-octane cut "Hit The Kerb Running" from their forthcoming eclectic long-player. Driving headlong at high speed into an anarchic, darkwave, post-punk fused commentary on facing life’s challenges head-on, crashing and colliding, hitting the kerb, but confident you can find the strength to keep on running past life’s hurdles, and taking the right road to win.
Massive Ego understands the challenges of surviving in an ever-changing musical landscape, as 2026 will see them reach their 30-year milestone. In 2025, Massive Ego is back for good and working its way towards a new full-length album. The band will perform at Germany’s biggest dark scene festival, M’era Luna, on 9-10 August, and Helsinki Industrial Festival, 6-8 November.
The new single "Hit The Kerb Running" features two dance floor-ready remixes, with the harder clubs catered for by Germany’s XTR Human, and the Portuguese duo Iamtheshadow bring a vocal-led dark remix.
Known for striking videos, the accompanying visuals reflect the track perfectly, with fast cuts and quick edits that add to a heightened sense of running into and away from danger, represented by the colour red throughout.
Massive Ego - a band still breaking the rules by not following fashions or trends whilst consistently reinventing itself and not being confined to one particular genre or style. Link
