Front sleeve of 2025 Conflict album This Much Remains

CONFLICT HAVE ANNOUNCED the release of new studio album This Much Remains – being issued in a variety of vinyl and digital formats on 25 April 2025.

The band’s last studio album There’s No Power Without Control was released more than two decades ago, back in 2003.

Conflict formed in 1981 in Eltham, Southeast London, when frontman Colin Jerwood, inspired by early encounters with the Pistols Spunk bootleg and following The Clash on tour, struck up a friendship with Crass and set about crafting a whole new kind of punk that totally upped the ante in terms anger and confrontation. Crass, the renowned anarchist punk collective, having got Conflict started by releasing their debut single The House That Man Built in 1982 on Crass Records, ended in 1984 as they had always intended. Now it was up to Conflict to pick up the baton and run with it. And they did, charging into the battle lines of authority.

The years that followed saw Conflict go from strength to strength, peaking on the 18th of April in 1987 at the London Brixton Academy for the Gathering of the 5,000 concert. A climax and explosion of rage and rebellion that inevitably ended up in a police provoked full-scale riot with police injuries, arrests, and with the band hopelessly in debt and banned from the majority of major London and UK venues.

Undeterred, Conflict continued into the 90s with their acclaimed Conclusion album and remained a mainstay of the live punk circuit throughout. However, after more than two decades since the release of their (2003) There’s No Power Without Control album, the band are back with This Much Remains.

Featuring sixteen brand new Conflict creations, the album sees the band keeping one eye on their eventful past, and the other firmly on moving forward, both musically and politically. Animal Rights are still at the forefront of Conflict’s collective minds, giving a voice to the voiceless on songs such as ‘A Mother’s Milk’ and ‘Shut The Fuck Up’, whilst their anger at world governments will never dissipate.

Also featuring an appearance by the late Benjamin Zephaniah on the track ‘Cut The Crap’, This Much Remains is the sound of a band that continues to surprise and progress, decades after it first began.
