Black End are a black and queer fronted band out of Seattle described as both grunge and gunk pop. They've opened for bands as diverse as Shannon & The Clams, Mamalarky, Margaritas Podridas, Momma, Skating Polly, and Otoboke Beaver. Now they're getting set to release their debut album next month, and by the sounds of their latest single, it's going to end up on a lot of best of 2024 lists. While a lot of music described as grunge these days just means that it sounds like 90's alt-rock, "Black's Lullaby" is actually grunge. It's more on the Nirvana side of grunge, and more like their oddball b-sides than the radio hits. There's also some Beat Happening going on in the song. "Black's End" is a noisy and instantly compelling new single that is one of the most thrilling singles of the year.
You can listen to "Black's Lulaby" below. Psychotic Spew is due out October 11 on Youth Riot Records, and is available for pre-order through Bandcamp. For more on Black End, check out the band on Instagram.
