Band: TOY CAR
Who: Fervent post-punk
team from Liverpool.

Their 7-track EP named Love Those Left Behind
came out last year. Stream it here

New single: RAT RACE

“A phrase I had when writing this track was ‘to be a perfect citizen’. It has themes of the system and society as a whole but doesn’t exactly blame anyone, only observing modern life. The structure of the track is very simple, having all the meat (language) in the verses and releasing the tension in the instrumental parts with a breakdown towards the end. I felt by doing this added some sort of town crier effect , this was further reinforced by the harmonics during the instrumental parts.”

TUTV: These ambitious up-and-fast-coming Liverpool mavericks jump on the fence
to share their sharp-cutting views on the post-Brex-shit debacle. They do it with chainsaw guitars, battering drums, muscular bass, fulminating vocals and a serrated edged chorus.

The final result is a loud and clear jackhammer that makes the Sex Pistols
cry out ‘No future in England’s dreaming’, unfortunately, relevant again.

Two-Headed DIY Noise Act PONS Goes Ballistic On New Blast ‘RAT RACE’…

Daily fuel to load your sonic batteries…

16 October 2018

Band: PONS

Who: An outspoken DIY noise duo – Sam Daugherty and Jackson Halus – out of Burlington, Vermont. Last August they released their stormy punk havoc filled debut EP They Look Like People

Pick: RAT RACE – brand new track

Score: ‘Rat Race‘ is a red-hot missile soaked with anxiety, frustration and rage. Looks like it’s all about that big country – once the land of freedom, dreams and opportunities – in the West that turned really ugly the past two years. This feels, reads and resonates like a blast of blazing emotions about The Divided States Of America. Desperation takes over.

There’s really nothing to it, maybe
Feel like you’re one of many
End up dead like Kennedy
Or live to be an accessory

Seems like shock treatment is the only option
to save the Promised Land. And it sounds like this…
