North-west indie art-punk trio Gen and the Degenerates reveal another sneak peak into their upcoming second album Earthy Delights, scheduled for release on 8th January 2027 on Marshall Records with ‘Hotter On The Internet’. Punchy, angular, satirically sultry and written in tandem with Dan Haggis (The Wombats), the tune speaks to the notion of expectations versus reality. Fans can pre-order the album HERE, and stream the single HERE.
On the writing collaboration with Dan Haggis, Genevieve Glynn-Reeves shares that the song came to life after the two met during a songwriting panel called “The Narrative” in Liverpool.
“It explores the dissonance between how I portray myself online vs how I am in reality.” states Glynn-Reeves. “I feel like people are expecting to meet a certain kind of person, someone that they’re basing on the content of me that they see online, and then I feel like I’m actually quite boring, compared to their expectations. Or at least I’m boring in a practical sense.”
“I think my life and inner world are really interesting and energising, but it’s not very rock’n’roll. I love spending time with my friends. I’m close with my family. I like reading books and swimming and decorating my flat with cool doo dads from charity shops.”
