Leicester’s Final Coil are keeping the momentum rolling on their new EP 1994, with a fresh video landing for its opening track, Instant Fix.

The EP has already been picking up strong reactions for its sharp, high-energy return to the band’s heavier instincts, and this latest release doubles down on that.

Frontman Phil Stiles explains it as one of those long-gestating pieces that kept resurfacing through different eras of the band before finally locking into place here. Lyrically, it digs into addictive and impulsive behaviour, and the ripple effect it has on the people caught in its orbit.

Musically, it sits right on that fault line Final Coil have always occupied, where there’s a pull toward something more expansive and layered on one side, and the sheer forward drive of their heavier material on the other.

The track also features drumming from Graham Hopkins (formerly of Therapy?), whose performance locks into the track with a tight, forceful foundation that gives everything else room to snap and surge around it.

The accompanying video leans into the EP’s broader concept, 1994, which reflects on the era that first sparked the band’s creative identity. Rather than a literal narrative, the visuals use curated and stock footage stitched together into something more impressionistic. It’s deliberately open-ended, designed to be interpreted rather than explained, matching the track’s uneasy, unsettled energy.

Stiles describes the project as an attempt to capture not just the sound of that period, but the feeling of it, the sense of music being immediate, exciting, and unpolished in a way that shaped the band’s early identity.

More than anything, Instant Fix feels like a song that finally found its moment. Something long carried, reshaped, and set aside until the rest of the band’s journey caught up with it.
