UK-based experimental instrumental quartet AV Sunset are pleased to reveal their new single ‘The Cheerleading Elite’, set for release on 6th July 2026.

The new track plays a hugely important role on the band’s forthcoming new album—amidst all the confusion, chaos and uncertainty of contemporary existence, ‘The Cheerleading Elite’ is intended to cut straight through the middle as a blast of hope and triumph.

Commenting on the track, the band say: “We kept the guitar effects down to a minimum here, aside from some reverb and delay and a bit of Ebow. The majority of this song is all about the interplay between the different guitar parts and we wanted the dynamics to come from our playing rather than our pedalboards. It’s the most delicate song on the album…at least until that riff drops in the final third.”

The single is the latest to be taken from their forthcoming new album Vs Reality, which is set for release on 4th September 2026 via Luton-based DIY collective label Vandalism Begins At Home Records, available to preorder now.
