“The American Machine” leads the charge for Corporation P.O.P., out June 27
Manchester agitators Hot Milk are back with a vengeance. Today sees the release of their new single “The American Machine,” a furious takedown of divisive U.S. politics, setting the stage for their upcoming second album Corporation P.O.P., due out 27th June via Music For Nations.
Han Mee pulls no punches in her critique of MAGA-era ideology, calling the track “anti-arsehole, anti-hate, anti-oligarch.” Accompanied by a searing video shot in their hometown, the single reinforces Hot Milk’s commitment to fearless, politically charged rock.

Corporation P.O.P.: An Album Rooted in Fury and Home
Written and produced by the band’s own Jim Shaw alongside Zach Jones and KJ Strock, Corporation P.O.P. channels personal politics into pointed lyricism and bold sonic punches. Han Mee’s political background and fierce attachment to Manchester permeate every track, offering both local grit and global perspective.
Hot Milk’s refusal to bow to the chaos around them makes Corporation P.O.P. feel less like an album and more like a warning flare fired into the modern sky.
