‘Wall of Noise’ bravely tackles mental health issues. It poignantly portrays the nagging voices and the exhaustive cerebral fog this brings about:
“The wall of noise / Threatens to leak all the things we don't see / Distorted voice /Blink and it's gone but for now it lives on.”
Rather than just serving up platitudes to raise awareness, they have taken aim at us all who do so:
“Conversations inflate / Spread it on sure / But don't leave it here / As it may interfere / Because we wait / Patient irate / Unsociably perfectly placed”
Their pain and fury are set to a gloriously destructive set of Bugeye basslines and Cribs-esque licks and the righteousness of Liines. It continually threatens to explode, the perfect soundtrack to those who are suffering. When it does erupt, the solo takes on the angst of Sleater Kinney, the power of The Breeders with Yeah Yeah Yeah’s “fuck you” attitude.
Their debut album is expected for release this summer. Here are their live dates:
