Art Fin
Heard on WFMU's "Darren" show. Greek loud post-punk with guitars like Bauhaus, bass lines like Joy Division, topped with scruffy vocals like Warsaw, Killing Joke & Theatre of Hate.
"Once the sadness of their 2020 canceled American tour was gone, Chain Cult went back to the practice space to write new songs, it was a perfect way to keep finding meaning in a world at a standstill.
They are back stronger than ever with two new raging post-punk anthems, they're bringing exactly what we need in these troubled times. These two songs give us elements for reflection on our lives, a good occasion to think about what we miss and what we want for the future.
« We're not Alone » and « Always a mess » show the band at its best. The very powerful rhythm section allows the guitarist to play the most beautiful and dark melodies and the singer to chant the catchy choruses that Chain Cult is known for.
During uncertain times, it is good to be surrounded by people you trust to continue moving forward ; in this spirit Chain Cult has kept the same recipe as for their previous records.
No one can say what the future holds and we can't act like this is normal but always shall we remember that we're not alone in this world" (Nico Destructure)

Can't listen w/o hearing Young Marble Giants, but a more nervous, taut take. All the tracks are great, but can't stop humming the title to myself. Josh Steichmann

What a apt title for this apsalutley fucking fantastic punk rock album. Every track is a blinder but track 3) coming up tough is just so insanely catchy. Toblermone
