Doom Pop

The Room returned in 2023 with original members Clive Thomas, Dave Jackson and Becky Stringer, joined by new bloods Ethan Kyme and Darren Brown. Since then, they have released Restless Fate (2023) and The Telling (2024) on 9x9 Records.

Their third album, Doom Pop!, arrives in September 2026. Opening track Drill, Baby, Drill is a response to the orangepig-who-would-be-king and his enablers, setting the tone for a record that leans into dark-tinged pop with purpose and bite.

Nine new songs sit alongside a re-recorded version of their 80s John Peel favourite, Things Have Learnt to Walk that Ought to Crawl, bringing past and present together in classic The Room style.
