The post punk band Maggot Heart give us a taste of what’s to come in their upcoming album ‘Hunger‘ (out in September) with their new track ‘This Shadow‘. It’s a great combination of goth fuzz and punk edge that singer Linnéa Olsson described as ‘simple on the surface, complex underneath’.

Sundressed are all about music as catharsis and tackling tough topics that can provide some solace or inspiration for fans. Frontman Trevor Hedges began the band over 10 years ago as a way of maintaining his sobriety and the band’s lyrics tackle issues around mental health and finding ways through dark times. The new album- ‘Sundressed‘ – features the recent singles ‘Fuck It Up‘ and ‘Bad Drugs‘ have trademark confessional lyrics set to a soundtrack of punk-infused melodies and riffs.

“This song is the song of the Summer”- so sings vocalist Genevieve Glynn-Reeves in the new track ‘Big Hit Single‘ and it is hard to disagree with her sentiment. It’s a tongue-in-cheek, vitriolic track that takes a side swipe at the record label who asked the band to “write another track like the song that did well“. It may have started out as a bit of an eff-you to the record execs but the resulting punk rock/ garage disco track is so good they may have just gone and done it. Expect irreverent vocal attitude and fuzzed guitars.
