Hello Sorry State newsletter readers! Another week, another pick. I hope everyone is having a great week, and I’m so happy you made it down to my part of this small but mighty little publication that we put out weekly. My listening habits have been all over the place. I have been checking out a lot of new to me bands. Has anyone checked out that KEXP video of Angine De Poitrine? Wild and really amazing stuff. Check it out if you have a moment.
My pick for this week is the new album from Angel Du$t. I admit I was never into anything before this album. They just did not click with me, but this album is fantastic. Justice Tripp, the founding member of the band and ex-member of the great Trapped Under Ice, seems to be the only consistent thing going for this band. The sound has changed from album to album. The newest album Cold 2 The Touch is just a great hardcore record, well as far as “new” hardcore goes. I would put them up against Turnstile any day. I think they do it better and are more forward-thinking in their songwriting. They combine the best of hardcore with lots of alternative parts that could be plucked from the 90s. Just like Turnstile, this band just has that touch that no one is really doing. Which I think a lot of this newer generation is grasping onto. They want hardcore, but they want it different. Not sure if that makes sense to anyone but me, but yeah. This record rules. It’s fun and different, and it’s one of those records that folks will love in 10 or 20 years from now.
As always, we are listing records and CDs as fast as we can because everyone is buying them up so quickly. Lots of great stuff is added daily!
