    MALCOM are back with their latest single, Running, out May 22, 2026.

    This release comes just before their highly anticipated debut EP, Step Out Of The Light, which drops on May 29. The record was made with renowned producer David Radahd Jones, known for his work with artists like The Sherlocks, The K’s, and Boston Manor.

    Running doesn’t disappoint. The track brims with suspense, swagger, and attitude, driven by a relentless pulse that showcases the band at their tightest. MALCOM pushes Jones’s rock and metal pedigree to its limits here, delivering a sound that’s both urgent and locked in.

    Vocalist Caz’s distorted delivery channels the anxieties and pressures of modern life, grappling with the urge to run or search for answers—a theme made all the more memorable by the song’s infectious, looping refrain. The result is a sound that fits right alongside rising contemporaries like The Rolling People and The Kairos.

    MALCOM comments;

    “We always end our live set on this one, it’s our heaviest tune yet, we go out with a bang!”

    It’s no surprise—MALCOM are steadily carving out a distinctive identity, each release further cementing their reputation for sharply crafted, musically rich tracks. If these latest offerings are any indication, their upcoming EP is set to be something special. MALCOM continue to deliver standout tracks, one after another.
