Lambrini Girls announce their return with electrifying second album

Lambrini Girls are not a band that pulls their punches, and on their second album, No Refunds, the Brighton duo are set to make their most urgent statement so far. Dropping on 15 January, the follow-up to their huge 2025 debut Who Let The Dogs Out finds Phoebe Lunny and Selin Macieira-Boşgelmez confronting a world they feel has, as they put it, “got even worse”.

The first taste of the album arrived earlier this year with Cult of Celebrity, a sharp jab at celebrity culture wrapped in one of the duo’s more pop-focused pieces. Now, Bang Bang Bang turns up the heat again. Built around Lambrini Girls’ trademark ferocity, this track is the story of a figure revered as both “a Christ-like figure” and “the devil”, according to Lunny, while pushing their sound into darker and increasingly unpredictable territory.

That sense of urgency runs throughout No Refunds. Industrial punk, trademark angular basslines and flashes of pop combine across an album that tackles genocide, fascism, reproductive rights, artificial intelligence and the increasing rise of toxic masculinity. For all its anger though, the record retains the dark humour, wit and instinctive energy that have become such a key part of Lambrini Girls’ identity.

The album also arrives after an intensely challenging period for the duo. Macieira-Boşgelmez stepped back from touring in late 2025 following burnout and mental health challenges, while Lunny suffered a brain injury during the band’s first Australian tour. Those experiences forced both musicians to reckon with the physical and emotional demands of their rapidly accelerating career, but in the end, it’s deepened their connection to the band and the music.

Their momentum shows no sign of slowing. After a top 20 position on the Official UK Album Chart and smashing it on stages across Europe, North America and beyond, Lambrini Girls will take No Refunds on an extensive UK and European headline tour in 2027. If the new material is anything like the singles so far, these shows will be every bit as confrontational, chaotic and exciting as you would expect from their growing reputation.
