STAFF PICKS
Angels Weep – TakeOffYourSkin (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: With their second single, “TakeOffYourSkin”, Angels Weep showcase an unfiltered rage that is absolutely hellish. Ranging between squeals and raw screams, backed by gnarly riffs, what Angels Weep have cooked up on their latest outing will please fans across genres with their crushing soundscape.
Greysight – BLIGHT (feat. Courtney Levitt of Love Rarely) (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: Greysight add to their crop of promising singles with a feature from Love Rarely‘s Courtney Levitt. The result is a premiere nu-core cut made for letting it all out in a panic room, complete with a ludicrous low-end, insane chorus leads and an obnoxious snare.
Still In Love – Nervous Impulse (Single)
Label – Church Road Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: Still In Love are one of the most promising bands making up the rising wave of hardcore. “Nervous Impulse” is the first bite of their upcoming debut LP, an especially heavy cut, fitting some furious instrumentals and more of Nick Worthington’s arresting vocals, venting plenty of anger in the name of self-improvement.
Why Patterns – Self Defeating Trebuchet (Single)
Label – Human Worth
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: Why Patterns are UK trio of forward-thinking punks and are back from the studio with material that does justice to their bonkers ideas. Every member of the three-piece shines on “Self Defeating Trebuchet” – crackly bass, bombastic drums, and vocals based exclusively on idiosyncrasies.
