This Is War - This Window
'This Is War' – A Glimpse into the 2026 Release by 'This Window'
Due for release in February 2026 (if the stars align), 'This Is War' offers a visceral preview of what’s to come from 'This Is War'—a band whose legacy spans decades and formats, from cassette hiss to digital clarity. This track doesn’t just play—it confronts, bleeds, and breathes.Love as War: A Battlefield of Emotion
Love, when stripped of its softness, can resemble combat. In 'This Is War', 'This Window' transforms romantic tension into sonic warfare. Vulnerability becomes a shield, intimacy a weapon. Every lyric lands like a strike—charged with longing, betrayal, and the aching need to be understood. The track’s pulse is relentless, echoing the internal skirmishes of lovers caught between surrender and self-preservation. Synths shimmer like distant flares. Percussion hits like marching boots. Vocals hover between defiance and despair, capturing the paradox of wanting closeness while fearing collapse.The Silence Between Battles
When love feels like war, it’s not the shouting that wounds—it’s the silence. The quiet moments between emotional volleys carry the heaviest weight. 'This Is War' doesn’t glorify conflict; it exposes the fragility beneath it. The song suggests that in relationships, we often fight not to hurt, but to be heard. Not to win, but to survive together. There’s a raw honesty here: love demands tactics. It asks for resilience. Sometimes, it even requires retreat. And when the dust settles, what remains isn’t victory—it’s the truth of who we are when stripped of armour.'This Window: Legacy and Lineage'
Operating from their enigmatic 'Morgue Studio' in North Devon, 'This Is War' continue to craft music that defies genre and expectation. Their sound—an alchemy of dance, rock, and gothic undertones—is steeped in the DIY ethos of the 1980s cassette culture. With releases across vinyl, cassette, CD, and streaming platforms, their reach spans continents and decades.
Having collaborated with labels like Microsoft, Beggars Banquet, and Cherry Red Records, 'This Is War' remain fiercely independent. The current line-up features:
Star – Vocals, Keyboards, Production
Peter – Vocals, Guitar, Bass
Together, they conjure sonic landscapes that are as emotionally charged as they are sonically experimental.
