Cornish pop punk quartet Kerosene Cocktail are back with their most ambitious release to date.
“Anything But Us Two,” delivers an energetic blend of huge hooks, driving guitars and raw emotion that showcases exactly why the band continues to build a loyal following across the UK.
Recorded at Cube Recording Studios alongside producer Ross Rothero-Bourge and multi platinum producer Gareth Young, the track captures the band’s signature mix of modern pop punk energy and infectious melodies while pushing their songwriting to a new level.
“Anything But Us Two” explores the moment when two people know a relationship has reached the end, yet neither is ready to let go. Rather than falling into heartbreak clichés, the song captures the frustration, conflict and emotional tug of war that comes with trying to be anything except what you once were together.
The result is a powerful, anthemic single packed with soaring choruses, dynamic shifts and the kind of energy that has become synonymous with Kerosene Cocktail’s live shows.
Following the success of previous releases, including Polaroids, the band have continued to gain momentum through extensive radio support, growing streaming numbers and an ever expanding social media audience. Their high energy performances have seen them become one of Cornwall’s most talked about live acts, with a reputation for transforming pubs, clubs and festivals into full scale singalong parties.
Speaking about the new single, drummer and band spokesperson Kenny Couch said:
“We’ve poured everything into this song. It’s bigger, heavier and more emotional than anything we’ve released before, while still feeling unmistakably like Kerosene Cocktail. Recording at Cube with Ross and Gareth has been an incredible experience and we honestly can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”
2026 has already been a landmark year for the band, with packed live shows, growing national radio support and work well underway on even more original material.
“Anything But Us Two” marks another major step forward as Kerosene Cocktail continue to establish themselves as one of the South West’s fastest rising pop punk bands.
