A snarling, boots‑on‑concrete terrace banger — a feral, supercharged remix of the track taken from their EP Two Bucks and a Bottle of Ketchup”

The Ovines kick off the year with the release of “You’re a Loser Mate”, a riotous punk single remixed from the track appearing on their EP Two Bucks and a Bottle of Ketchup, released 25 July 2025. The new single was released 30 January, accompanied by a brand‑new video and a fresh, hard‑hitting remix from Double Gold, Number One album producer Jason Stafford.

Recorded at the iconic Albion Rooms and engineered by Jason Stafford, the track captures The Ovines’ signature blend of terrace‑chant energy, razor‑sharp humour, and working‑class bite. Stafford, whose credits include The Libertines, Sports Team, Jamie T, Reverend and the Makers, Trampolene, Barns Courtney, Cruel Hearts Club, Andrew Cushin, Jamie Reynolds (Klaxons), Dirty Pretty Things, Vona Vella, The Dead Freights, Pigeon and more, injects the remix with punch, swagger, and a polished chaos that elevates the original.

A Humorous Uppercut to Modern Ego

“You’re a Loser Mate” is a hilariously cutting portrait of the kind of person who hides insecurity behind bravado, materialism, and questionable life choices. With its chant‑ready hook — “You’re a loser mate, you’ve got nothing about ya” — the track lands like a punchline shouted from the terraces.

From bathroom coke sessions to bucket hats and tiny man bags, the song skewers the theatre of pretentiousness with a grin. As the band jokes, “If you don’t know a person like this, it’s probably you.”
