STAFF PICKS
JEALOUS MIND – END OF DA LINE / KYS (Single)
Label – JM 2025
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin: Noisy punk group JEALOUS MIND continue their wrath in 2025 on dual offering “END OF DA LINE/KYS”. Stomping riffs give a rumbling aggression that builds, with a lyrics taking aim at fake friends and lamentations of modern life.
PUP – Paranoid (Single)
Label – Rise Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: Whilst on tour with Sum 41, PUP hit “send” on their new single and UK/Europe dates. “Paranoid” is classic teeth-gritting punk PUP in its first half, and bonkers slowmo breakdown in its second. The artwork teases that their ‘Unravelling’ era has come to a close, and that a new record could be on the table for 2015.
Spiritworld – Abilene Grime (Single)
Label – Century Media
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: The ever-popular cowboy inspired metallic hardcore unit are back in full force. Spiritworld deliver up their Western-soaked styled riffs as Folsom showcases his howled harsh vocals, as he narrates another story on “Abilene Grime” that will be part of many on their upcoming record Helldorado.
Stormo – Kallitype (Single)
Label – Prosthetic Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: Long running Italian post-hardcore and noise punk band STORMO drop their first track “Kallitype” from their forthcoming record titled Tagli/Talee, showcasing their sonic assault with rapid guitars and drum grooves, commanded by yelled screams that pierce through the noise.
