Band: TEST PLAN
Who: Indie noizz trio from London looking for the sweet spot between
dancing and moshing. They cultivate a ferocious blend of noise-rock,
dance-punk, and post-hardcore.
Track: GONE
The beginning of a brand-new chapter, according to the band.
It’s the first of a few singles from an EP out sometime next year.
Press info: “Arriving like a jolt to the nervous system, ‘Gone’ spits out static
like an overloaded current. A monologue caught in the midst of a breakdown,
growing darker, more feral, and increasingly chaotic with each hit.
Assembled around rehearsal room improvisations, ‘Gone’ has become a staple
of test plan’s blistering live shows, deceptively stretching simple chords and a
warped vocal delay pedal into blasts of snarling distortion and punishing swells
of sound”.
TUTV: Blimey. Test Plan grab you by the throat from the blaring intro and never
lose their suffocating grip. They come at you, full speed, with schizophrenic guitars,
an indefatigable drummer and a psychotic vocalist who screams his four lungs out
and tries to excommunicate his eerie demons.
No rest for the wicked. No emergency exit. We’re trapped, so let’s join these
maniacal mindfuckers in their attempt to make the Richter scale go ballistic.
The accompanying video clip is their most visceral
and vivid yet, a striking blend of performance art
and surrealist imagery.
